LAKE CHARLES (AP) — Scam artists are targeting elderly Lake Charles area residents by impersonating their grandchildren and seeking transfers of thousands of dollars.
The scammers appear to be using Google Voice, an Internet-based telephone service, to call potential victims in southwest Louisiana. Google Voice is available for public use and is free or, for people who make international calls, low-cost.
