Scam alert- if your elderly parent says they will be out of touch for the next couple of days

It is a scam. The scammers say they are law enforcement, ask the elderly person to withdraw funds from their bank(usually 10-20k) as part of an undercover operation and covert it to bitcoin. As part of the scam they tell the elderly person to not talk to any relatives for a a few day or weeks while they drain the bank accounts.

Apparently, it’s rampant.

This doesn’t even make sense. Maybe if family relationships were better, old people would be more trusting of their adult children to oversee their finances.
