Yeah we have to keep an eye on our older relatives. They're prime targets for scammers.

My grandma was always on high alert for scammers. She thought everything was a scam. Then one day she got a call that said she needed to give them all of her info so they could stop bad people from getting her money. My uncle went over to check on her and she had stuffed her checkbook, drivers license credit cards, ect into an envelope and was getting ready to mail it to the scammers.

It was then we really understood that dementia had taken over her. Of course we still had to cancel everything because we didn't know what she had told the scammers on the phone.
