[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to your parents, people. [/quote] And emphasize that not all scammers call about an outstanding bill. Seniors are vulnerable in-person too when dealing with technology. My parents got scammed by Verizon in the store when they upgraded their phones. The salesperson there upsold them for all kinds of extras they didn't need under the guise of them being required (spam blocking service, extra protections, Verizon cloud). They were also upsold on accessories for the phones (super fancy cases, battery packs, etc.). I was irate when my mom was showing me everything and I now accompany them for any phone upgrades. If my parents had any other mobile service where they live, I would have switched them just for the salesperson at the store being such a trash human. [/quote]
