    It broke my heart hearing that woman's story and how she took her own life because of those scammers. I work in a skilled nursing facility in my town as an RA. I get to sit down with the residents and talk to them so they don't feel lonely or forgotten. I always tell them not to answer these random calls they get and to never send these people money or let them on their computers. If I can save just one elderly person from losing their life savings and possibly their life, that's a win for me.

      It's very sad to think about but I bet a LOT of retired/elderly people "fall" for these scams just because it's a person to talk to that will talk with them for hours. Like they are looking forward to answering a phone call, from anyone and everyone. It's kind of like how I know a few people like that who's sole source of social interaction is going to sit down at restaurants multiple times a day, or talking to me because I do their landscaping.

    That breaks my heart hearing about that lady taking her life. My grandma is in her late 70’s isn’t tech savvy and starting to forget things. One day she got a call saying her power was going to get cut off unless she got $200 worth of apple gift cards. I’m glad she called my sisters and I first after she got the call. These people are ruthless. My grandmother is on a fixed income and my sisters and I help take care of her.

      My grandfather who is also in his late 70s was recently scammed out of over $50,000+. It was a longer term scam, where he thought he was in a relationship with some “woman” who took advantage of the fact that my grandmother had passed and he was lonely and isolated after he decided to move to a cheaper state (against our pleas to not do so). When he started telling people about this “relationship” in which this woman would ONLY communicate through messaging and refused to speak on the phone or see him in person, we all urged him that it was a scam, but he refused to listen. Eventually, “she” successfully scammed him for the first time by making up some sort of fake crisis, in which he actually took it upon himself to travel to the state “she” claimed “she” resides in, stayed in a hotel for several days, sent her several thousand dollars to take care of “her crisis”, to which she still refused to see him in person or speak with him over the phone, so he eventually returned back home. He didn’t tell anyone he did this until after it happened, which is usually the case.
      Unfortunately, even after all of that, he still refused to believe that he was being scammed, refused to listen to our pleas to stop all communication with this person, and still carried on with the “relationship” out of pride and desperation, not telling anyone. A few months back he finally revealed and admitted that it was in fact a scammer, as he had just been scammed out of over $50K and was filing bankruptcy after the scammer somehow convinced him to put them on his line of credit due to some other “crisis”, and maxed out everything, taking him for everything he had (which was barely anything to begin with), then deleted all accounts, lines of communication and deleted their existence. He still refuses to notify law enforcement, though I doubt at this point they wouldn’t be able to do anything. I’m sure we don’t even know the full extent of it. This isn’t even the first time he’s been scammed, as back when my grandmother was still alive 5+ years ago, he was scammed by the typical computer scammers who stole his information and locked him out of his computer, which forced him to buy a new computer. Living so many states away (and unable to travel due to medical reasons), there’s only so much we can do, especially with how stubborn he is (and how gullible), his refusal to accept people telling him hard truths and how he won’t accept help or advice in any form.
      It’s absolutely infuriating what these scammers do to the elderly. They have no conscience, humanity or morality, they are just pure evil monsters taking advantage of extremely vulnerable people. It’s absolutely disgusting. And it’s infuriating that because they are overseas, there’s really no avenue for justice or a way to hold them accountable. I can only find solace in the fact that one day, on their day of judgement, they will finally be held accountable for what they have done, and at that point it will be too late for them.

      @@BhappyD So sorry to hear this happened to your grandfather. It is so frustrating when everyone knows and warns the victim, who refuses to see what’s right in front of them. I had a friend who was a lady in her 50s who had a similar scam run on her with a fake Internet boyfriend. She eventually had to sell her home because he’d taken all the rest of her money, with one fake crisis after another. Her friends and family had told her it was a scam for months, but she just wouldn’t or couldn’t believe it. I tried a different angle, and asked her if she would really be happy with a man who was always getting into trouble. and who always needed her money to get out of it - wouldn’t she rather have a man who took care of her? I don’t know if that advice sank in but I do know that a few months later she had stopped talking to him.

Countries around the world need to work together to clamp down on these scams and bring them to justice. So many times I’ve received scam calls trying to scam me. The last one who called me, acted like he knew me, saying how are you, addressing me by my name and than preceded to sell me life insurance. I said to him I didn’t give you my number and how would you like it if I called your personal number, acting like I know you when I don’t. He just replied with a cocky attitude and came across like he was untouchable and arrogant. All I can say is, what goes around comes around. 🙏🏻

I told them it was a scam and if they were still on the phone or had to call them back. I talked to them and another person helped convince them it was fake. I asked if they would call them back and put them on speaker phone, they did. I pretended to be Pierogi from Scammer Payback and boy did they not like that. The two ladies were convinced! It felt good to do that. We helped clean up her phone and told her not to connect her pc to the internet and delete all of the stuff they had her download before going back online.

    Chappy's story hit me hard. I work in assisted living, I occasionally keep an ear out if a resident is talking on the phone and I'm hearing what sounds like a scam. I've even asked to make sure one resident wasn't being asked to buy gift cards just to make sure (it wasn't a scam fortunately).
    Hearing what happened to her friend is heart breaking

    Because of this channel. I noticed an elderly woman holding up the line at the gas station. I noticed she was holding gift cards. I promptly interrupted her and asked her “did someone on the phone told you owe taxes and have an arrest warrant?” She said yes . I told her that was a scam. She looked at me relieved and said thank you and walked away.

    I watch your channel and all the other’s and more awareness needs to be made to help educate those who tend to fall for scammers and those who are assisting people in whatever situation someone is in meaning mental and/or physical health or age etc… I wish I could do more to help! I’ve tried to share information on Facebook etc… but most elderly aren’t watching or have family to help them. I’d love to help stop scammers and always helping people when I can. I’m setting up an office area in my house I’m moving to this month and hope to learn more and get set up to help. I’m looking into more computer learning and would love to help call people or do whatever it takes to kick butt on scammers and help save as many people as possible! I had happy tears from all of you helping these people stopped from them being scammed!!! Shouldn’t there be more done to educate supportive living, elderly homes, and facilities for assisted living and all stores and banks to educate workers to help stop them???? Gift cards and elderly at a check out I’d be demanding to talk to the person on the phone as a cashier! Assistance to remove these programs scammers put on their computers are needed. I never reply to emails or people who msg me on Facebook or messenger and texts. I look at the profiles and they are new or misspelled words or grammar is so obvious to me. People need help. I want to help and I’m ready to do whatever I can! I have the time too. ❤😢

      You can't "block India". They'll just use a VPN and connect from a different country. Telco companies should deactivate number spoofing. This would help a lot so scammers can't make their calls look like they're coming from your bank or the police.
