San Francisco Police are on the hunt for a group of scammers targeting the elderly in what’s been termed a “blessing scam.” According to reports, the suspects engage with solo vulnerable individuals in public, pretending to offer spiritual help before swindling them out of their valuables. In a recent incident on January 29, as reported by the San Francisco Police Department, an elderly woman was conned into bringing forth her jewelry and cash for a ceremonial blessing, only to later find she’d been duped with fake replacements.
