[quote=Anonymous]I haven't heard of this one before but it really feels like the elder scams have gotten so much more frequent and elaborate lately. My dad, my MIL, and my friend's dad have all been hit with elaborate scams for money in the last year and it's crazy how good the scammers are. I think we need more public education on this stuff because I suspect a lot of these scammers just recognize that aging boomers are sitting on enormous amounts of cash and as our parents get older, they become more susceptible to these things. In any case, yes I would absolutely report to the cops (they won't do anything, but get it on record) and I'd also post it on Nextdoor, Facebook, neighborhood list serves, etc. The more we can get the word out that this stuff is happening the better. The more aware people can be, the better. It's really the only defense.[/quote]
