It's possible if she doesn't know why you're asking the questions and requesting a specific photograph, her responses won't be helpful.
For example, if you asked for a selfie, she might just think you want a picture of her, and she remembers that she has a picture of her that she took last year where she looked good (passport phot that people dress up for), and wants you to have a good photo rather than one where she looks miserable in a hospital.
The way you tell the story makes it sound suspicious, but next time I would just be direct and tell her something seems suspicious to you, that someone could impersonating her, so that is why you are asking.
If someone is targeting you, chances are they already saw your comment here so that hypothetical person already know you're on to them, so saying that on the phone won't give any new information away.
- eth0up 2y agoHey there, I couldn't include our entire dialogue into an HN comment, but yes, upon prodding as deeply as I could and running out of ideas, I explained my suspicions. The response wasn't what I expected, but not direct evidence supporting my concers quite either. If it was my aunt, she understands well. If not, the perpetrator does too. One of a few other instances which got my attention was a voicemail she left, which I retain a recording of. It starts by saying her name, awkwardly, followed by a 5-8 second pause, then saying "Hi. This is <her name>. I always refer to her by her abbreviated single syllable name, while the voicemail used her formal, full name. I haven't heard from her since saying that if anything went wrong, I'd be looking for fingerprints on the passport.
