TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo police are warning the public of a new phone scam targeting the elderly.

Detectives say the scammers usually call landline phones posing as an attorney or bondsman. The scammers pretend that a grandchild has been involved in an at-fault accident and need money to get out out of jail.

As a reminder, you should never provide personal information to unsolicited or unknown telephone callers.
