Episode Details

Scammers are targeting grieving families in Bradenton, Florida, posing as funeral homes with spoofed phone numbers to demand immediate cash payments—often using credit card info on the spot. One victim, recently widowed, nearly fell for it until he called the real funeral home, which confirmed everything was already handled. The mayor, who owns a funeral home himself, called them “scum of the earth” and warned that legitimate funeral homes never make urgent payment demands over the phone. If you get such a call, hang up and report it immediately—don’t give them any info.
