The government sends mail to seniors at least once a year. Why not include a simple, easy-to-understand brochure warning seniors about these scammers?
It really amazes me that this is not done.
Happen to visit my elderly sister in law just as she was about to give one of these scammers her credit card.
Stopped her and asked how all this started. Classic scam as described in the article.
Told her to just hang up and reboot the computer.
Everything was fine. I hate how these ‘people’ rip off vulnerable people.
