Cranford Police officially thanked Cranford Post Office employee Jennifer Goodwin for her efforts in preventing two separate fraud cases within the Township of Cranford this December. Within a two-week span, Mrs. Goodwin intercepted two elderly Cranford residents at the Cranford Post Office who were sending cash through the mail for activity linked to scams.
Jennifer became suspicious and she quickly alerted the Cranford Police Department and in doing so, prevented these two residents from becoming victims of these common scams and fraud schemes aimed at the elderly population.
Jennifer is also a Cranford resident has been working at the Cranford Post Office for 25 years. She served on the boards of the PTA/PTC of her son’s middle school and belongs to the VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
Chief Ryan Greco of the Cranford Police Department was thankful for Mrs. Goodwin’s actions stating, “Her involvement in these fraud cases was exemplary and she should be commended for her actions.”
The news of her actions can serve as a warning to other elderly folks and their caregivers to be aware of the many types of scams that are perpetrated. Always be suspicious about anyone requesting cash or the purchase of gift cards.
