Beware of new identity theft scam
First the scam artist gathers information from an unsuspecting young girl. The information allows the scam artist to steal the identity of the girl's grandmother. In the final stage, the scam artist tries to persuade the girl that he is the grandmother. In one notable case, the girl had a red hood.
