PHENOMENON AND SCALE OF FRAUD BY THE „GRANDPARENT SCAM” METHOD IN THE AREA OF THE SILESIAN VOIVODESHIP IN 2017-2022

Abstrakt

With an ageing population, the issue of safety for older people is becoming increasingly
important. This is all the more important as the number of senior citizens is
increasing year on year. One particular type of threat affecting seniors is fraud committed
against them, in which the perpetrators use the method commonly referred
to as „grandparent scam”. This phenomenon is all the more shocking as the perpetrators,
using sophisticated manipulation methods, often cause the victims to lose
their entire life savings. The scale of the phenomenon in the Silesian Voivodeship
in the individual years 2017-2022 was variable. Law enforcement authorities in this
period recorded rather negligible success in identifying the perpetrators of this type
of fraud.
