I had to instruct my elderly father to do the same -- any kind of accent and he hangs up. He got scammed by one of these people in 2018 or so -- he gave the person his debit card number over the phone to remove malware on his computer while I was out on a super-long run. Luckily he couldn't remember his PIN, and his bank was great at blocking the charge. There's a special place in hell for these animals who prey on old people.
- danenania 4y agoThese days I’d recommend just not answering any unrecognized number. If they’re waiting for a call for some specific reason, they can look at voicemail transcripts to see if it’s the call they were expecting and call back. Otherwise it’s best to ignore any incoming calls. Anything truly important won’t use a phone call as the only contact method.
