My mom, 92, gets the “granddaughter in jail” scam call occasionally. Always interrupts them to say, “I’m so glad you called; your dad promised me he would help with the rent this month and I haven’t heard from him yet.” Always hears click next.
She is careful but the scammers are really good. Fortunately she doesn’t do on-line banking at all, and takes her checks into the post office to mail (has had a check washed in the past).
