A sad news story came out in 2016 showing grandparents being scammed in the worst way possible – by their own grandson. The grandson promised to take care of them, so the couple, in their 80s at the time, signed the deed over. Instead, he screwed them over big time like a real dirtball. He allegedly mortgaged the property with three loans, defaulted on them, and possibly sold the house without the grandparents even knowing.
The community around the couple raised $125,000 so the couple could move into a mobile home after their grandson scammed them. The news report from 2016 said the following:
The Kaweckis, both in their late 80s, have been facing eviction for months after they signed over the deed to the home to their grandson, who allegedly mortgaged the property to the maximum with three loans and defaulted on all of them, the couple said.
The relative also allegedly sold the house without their knowledge.
“It’s hard, very hard, to leave this. But we don’t have any choice. And I didn’t ever think my grandson would ever do this to me. Ever,” said Helen Kawecki.

Local law enforcement and the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office have investigated the case, according to the GoFund Me page. KTLA reports that it was not immediately known whether the grandson would face any charges.
