I spent the last few months staying with my elderly mother three days and nights a week. The scammers that called her phone were non-stop. Thankfully, although her body was weak, her mind was sharp and she never fell for a single one of those scammers

You’re so lucky.
They took my father for every cent he had, even conned him into selling his house and Got that money too.
When I feel bitter I watch this guy

I feel for you. It’s amazing how many elderly people fall for the scams given the constant public service announcements, warnings, and “how to avoid the scams” articles in every publication geared to the elderly. But, those that are older seem to just skip over those warnings.
I think it has something to do with the fact that they grew up in the time of the telephone suddenly being available, and that anytime they heard that “jangle” it was a family member or friend calling. They simply do not expect that someone on the phone has nefarious intentions.
I love that guy. He changes his voice to the little old lady and rapes their computer while he’s letting them flirt with
“her”. We need more like him.
