Scam avoided by Waukesha woman

A Waukesha woman on Eales Ave. avoided falling victim to a common scam by quick thinking, according to police reports.

A man posing as her grandson called a Waukesha woman and asked
for a large amount of money. He gave her instructions to drop it off
near a large retail store.

The mom callled family members and discovered the call was
a scam and the grandson was not asking for money, the report says.

The suspect continued to call to see if the money was ready to be delivered.

The woman contacted police.

The suspect called again and wanted the money wired to a location in Boston, Mass. No money was transfered, the report says.
