We are working with Self Help for the Elderly to get the word out about theblessing scams. This morning, Officer To and Assistant District Attorney KarenCatalona spoke with a group of seniors. Although no cases have been reported innearly a year, we want to remind the Chinese community about the possibility ofbeing approached by women who are going to trick the victims into receiving ablessing of their valuables and jewelry. During this process, the money andjewelry are switched out for paper in a bag. There have been recent cases inNew York and Canada so we are working to be prepared here in San Francisco.
