I'm presently trying to educate an older friend whose husband is incapacitated. He did everything and now she is floundering in the digital world and is very gullible. I've been making a list of all the phone calls she is likely to receive that are scams and am on my way over to set up her new iPhone so that it sends everyone not in her contacts to voice mail. Yesterday she got fishing calls from social security and Microsoft. She feels that she has to talk to these people just to be polite and I'm having to teach her to politely say no and hang up. The list of calls is getting really long, a far cry from the days when Rachel from card services was the only pest, although we still get an occasional card services call.
Extended car and home warranties, law suits for Zantac and Roundup, Microsoft windows needing computer access, Social Security, Amazon account charged _____$ please call this number, Medicare program changes and have you received your new Medicare Card?, Grandma, your grandson/daughter has been in an accident and is in jail needing bail money or lawyer fees....the list keeps getting bigger.
