The scams are insane, there are so many and they're all good at convincing elderly people who are used to cold calls and call center talk.

Several people in my family have been hit and none of them are even that senile. They just got played for months before they actually executed the scam.

Worst one is they buy up helplines that are printed on old tech so when you call the "official" HP helpline on your decade old printer you get scammers pretending to be HP
