HIGHLAND PARK, Texas - Highland Park police are trying to track down a con artist who scammed a 93-year old woman out of thousands of dollars twice.

The man convinced the grandmother that she needed to send money across the country to help get her grandson out of trouble.

Unfortunately, the scam is not uncommon. The 93-year old woman's son got in touch with FOX 4 after learning what took place. They believe it’s a story worth sharing to hopefully help prevent someone, especially elderly people, from falling prey to con artists that they call despicable.
