Beware of fishy emails, solicitous phone calls and the cash-up-front handyman.
Last month, an 84-year-old Braintree woman received a phone call from someone claiming to be her grandson, telling her that he had been arrested in California and needed more than $2,000 wired through Western Union. Fortunately, an employee with the wire service recognized what is increasingly a common scam and the elderly woman told police about the bail money scheme. Not every story like this ends as well, though, and victims are often out thousands of dollars, with little they can do to get their money back. To help guard Braintree seniors against similar frauds, the Department of Elder Affairs hosted a seminar in which Braintree Cooperative Bank Vice President Joanne Tully examined various schemes and provided dos and don'ts during a …

As Braintree’s “hometown bank,” Braintree Cooperative Bank is using its in-bank video screens to recruit adoptive homes for children in state foster care.

Braintree Cooperative Bank VP Joanne Tully offered the bank’s screens after hearing a presentation about MARE at a Braintree Rotary Club meeting. Tully, a past president of the Rotary, takes to heart the bank’s mission of serving the community. “It’s my hope that by helping to promote MARE here at the Bank, we can bring at least one family and child together,” Tully said. The screens continue to inform …

Curiosity has been called, variously, a "secret of happiness," a conqueror of fear, the "life blood" of civilization, "the wick in the candle of learning" and, of course, the thing that killed some cat. It is also a great tool for bringing people together, for connecting them and solving problems. And so over the next few months on Braintree Patch we will work to satisfy your curiosity about aspects of the town by starting lively discussions with people in Braintree well-versed in topics ranging from municipal government and small business to school issues and the local art scene. As part of a new series of live question-and-answer sessions with Braintree's community leaders, we will kick-off with a Live Chat featuring Braintree …

I feel terrible for the victims of this particular scam. I have read several other phone scams reported at http://www.callercenter.com but this one is by far the most cruel and persistent. It's sad how these scammers easily play with the victim's emotion and take advantage of the love and concern the victim has for the other family members. This should be considered a serious crime and I think it… more ›
