People with older relatives need to be aware of all these scams and communicate them clearly. My parents are in their 80's and were victims of a phone scam (Nigeria) where they were instructed to buy cash cards and provide the numbers to the caller. My Dad caught on but Mom is a person who can't say no to "friendly" people. They would call the house 10x a day. Mom lost ~ $2000 in the process. I had their phone number changed to stop the abuse. Mom still thinks they were honest and that we missed out on a huge inheritance...

Sucks to get old folks.
