You’re not kidding!
My grandparents had this so bad. I stayed with them a few times over the last few years, for weeks or months at a time as we dealt with some family tragedies.
One day I decided to keep track of how many telemarketer and scam/spam/Medicare/insurance/banking-fraud calls they got in one day. I lost count somewhere in the 15-20 region. It was constant.
- duxup 3y agoI was at my local credit union and the lady behind the counter was asking about the money I was moving around. It was a significant amount. She apologized and said "I'm sorry but we have to ask these questions, once in a while we get some folks moving money who are being scammed." In her situation they stopped some nice older folks from "bailing out their granddaughter", of course it wasn't their granddaughter it was a scammer. Dealing with my father-in-law's financials we found some odd "donations" to groups we never could identify, not a lot so it wasn't worth investigating further, but we also couldn't find any trace of some of these orgs either. I assume some were scammers. Thankfully we got his finances arranged so everything had to be approved later in life.
