Scams targeting seniors reported

Leelanau County is ripe for the picking as it comes to scams on senior citizens.

In the past week, there have been several calls to the county Sheriff's Office from seniors who fell for the scammers’ nefarious scheme. Other attempts were not successful and seniors called the Sheriff's Office to make a report.

More than 30% of the county is 60 or over, making this age group susceptible to scammers.
