That hits close to home! Just yesterday, my 94 year old grandmother who lives in an assisted care facility got a call from someone who wanted her to send him money for something or other. Grandma's getting real forgetfull, but she remembered the warnings we'd given her and told the guy he would have to talk to her son(my dad). A while later the guy called back and said he'd spoken with my dad and gotten his approval. Grandma wrote the guy a check and put it in an envelope, addressed to someplace in Texas, and set it out for pickup by the assisted care staff. Luckily we found out in time before the mail was picked up and we were able to get the letter back before it went out. The real scary part is that the guy had asked for an amount only slightly less than the balance she had in her account, so we think somehow he has access to the account.
Police and the bank were notified, things are underway to try and catch this scumbag...
It's not the first time either...a few months back she got a call from someone claiming to be me wanting her to send money for an "emergency". She didn't fall for it that time though- called and we told her it was a scam.
