Scams and the elderly

[prntrfxr]

We no longer have a landline. Everything is on cell phone right now. He's mad at himself about it, but the truth is if you are not alert to every single call and think about what people are saying to you it can happen to you. You generally trust when the bank calls you, don't you? If someone is advising you of a scam involving your account, wouldn't it freak you out enough to want to help someone who promises to stop it? Anyone can make this mistake, it can happen to anyone. The elderly are especially vulnerable, that is what makes this problem sad, and me mad.

it was a sad day when I found out that I did not have any relatives in Nigeria who left me a large sum of money. My mom is pretty smart and when the scammers call her, she just keeps pushing the # button over and over until they hang up.
