    My friend who has dementia was very nearly scammed last week. They told her to lie to the bank about what the cash was for, and that didn't sound right, so she rang me to ask what to do, thank goodness. I told her not to answer any number she doesn't recognise, so hopefully.....
    I could think some not very nice things about them...😢

    This happened to my relative who is over 80. The scammers frightened her into catching a bus into town and going to her bank to withdraw a very large amount. Fortunately the cashier she dealt with at the bank noticed that she had her phone on and intervened before the money was withdrawn. She was left feeling quite shaken and vulnerable. Such evil people.

      Yes, such scammers are wicked. Anyone who scams an elderly person has a special spot reserved for them in H_ll.
      Sometimes the scams are soo smooth...but best to go unto the branch or just end the call like Ilona does.❤

      @@aoc092 Hundreds of branches are closing every week, leaving people with nowhere to speak to a human face to face. This is why they are pushing digital banking. This is the plan. Making people reliant on their hand held smart phones. I can get cash out of my Bank account at the post Office, with my debit card.

    The number of scams these days is scary. Everyone needs to be vigilant. I must admit that handing over wads of cash to a stranger sounds a particularly stupid thing to do but who's to say that we would not get caught out in other ways, unless we are careful.

    • @meanqueensuperscrimper8908
      @meanqueensuperscrimper8908  5 днів тому +1

      Some of the bigger scams can go on for many years. Lies which get people sucked in, can be life changing, even life limiting. It's a thin line between fact and fiction.

    We all need to be cautious and aware of our financial decisions that we make Ilona. Here in Canada I fear eventually that they will force on us a cashless society on us. Some places refuse cash payments and we must use a credit or debit card! I too will not do any online banking or ordering purchases. Too many things could go wrong. Have a great day! 🌟

      You talk common sense. Getting people hooked on carrying a mobile phone around with them is the first step to controlling their every movement. I don't get a credit card statement every month because I haven't got one. My monthly bank statement has minimum entries on it. Two long term direct debits, pensions coming in, cash withdrawals going out. Takes me seconds to check it. We have to hold the line and say NO.

    Banks in Wales make it really hard to bank the old fashioned way. My bank opens only weekdays and they make a real fuss over sending me paper statements. The bank is quite far away and I cannot get there during the week . This electronic banking only benefits the banks and the scammers. I am sorry for the lady you mentioned. Golden rule never give banking details that can access your accounts to anyone. I love your bunting Ilona very colourful. x

    I have got the most wonderful story about a scammer. There was a lady in the next town who was recently convinced to draw a large amount of cash out of her bank account and put it in a box and meet a car in a parking lot and hand the box over. After a few days, she realized how foolish she been and she called the police. She described the vehicle and the men in it. It turns out, the police had stopped the men and talked to them about a tail light that was out on their car. There was a record of the vehicle’s make model and license plate and the driver’ driver license, with name and address. They were soon apprehended.
