Talk to your parents and grandparents about phone scams. My mom almost lost $20,000 to a phone scam today. Luckily my husband and I were there. We reported it to the local police.
This was an Amazon scam. My mom got an automated call from “Amazon” that said they detected a fraudulant charge. She hit “1” to continue. They had her sign on to her computer, including her amazon account and bank account. They mirrored her computer. When they wanted to issue the refund (for $799) they said it had to be done in 2 steps because of tranfer “limits”. She was told she had to input the amount and tried to do one for $200. The computer was slow and lagging...it ended up being $20,000 They told her she needed to go to the bank and withdraw money in cash and mail it to the address they provided. She went to the bank and withdrew the cash. They instructed her on how to mail it out. It stopped there. I told her to hang up. We called the cops. Watch out for your elders.
