I know it is difficult for older/elderly/less tech savvy people but we have to keep trying to educate whoever we can. First, if someone asks you to make ANY payment through Gift cards, assume it is a scam and move on. Hang up. Even if tehy are claiming that you son/daughter just had an accident or was arrested. If you do get someone to tell you that your family member is arrested/in an accident and needs immediately help, tell them to txt you the address of where they are and you will take care of the rest. Hang up then. The Govt. never calls and asks for money on phone. They do call sometimes but will always send paper mail when it comes to money matters. If you are not sure, hang up and call back yourself after checking the legit number online through the main website. Never call a number that is from your voicemail etc.
