RE: Late to the Scam Party. Comedy Open Mic 32
You know, this kind of phone calls are terrifying if you think about it. Sure we can smell bullshit from far but what about the elderly people? People who have lived most of their lives in a world where you could trust most people calling you and telling you serious things. People who do not understand these kind of things and just do as the caller tells them to do.
And furthermore, in the future, the scam target could be any one of us. Old age eventually gets everyone.
Yes, humour aside it's nasty business. Reading through that article I linked, it sounds like they really play on the fear factor.
More than once my mum's approached me asking about a text message she's gotten that had her worried and I've told her to delete it, because it's a scam. I'm glad she's checked with me first rather than followed the instructions or links.
