I was so proud of my mother when she he was about 95.
She got one of those calls from the “police” saying that her grandson (about age 35 at the time) was in jail and he needed her to send money to be released.
She didn’t fall for it. Not because of the technical issues we’re discussing. She told the caller, “My grandson never would be in jail!” And then she hung up.
Grandma’s faith in her grandson trumped technology and scammers.
Nice story! Kudos to your mom!
