5/17/23 Dodge County Grandparents Scam Suspect
17 May 2023 News
Officials with the Dodge County Sheriff’s Department are warning residents about a new twist to the grandparents’ scam. It occurs when victims are told that a grandchild is under arrest and needs bail money. The grandparent is then instructed to wrap the money a certain way and give it to a ride-share service driver. Early this month, a rural Dodge County resident received a call that her grandson was in jail and needed money for bail. The resident then received a second call from someone claiming to be her grandson’s attorney. The resident gave the bail money to an unknown man who showed up at her front door. A sketch artist worked with the victim and developed a sketch of the suspect. Anyone who may be able to identify the suspect is asked to call Detective Michael Lake at 920-386-3726.
