    I'm in my 50s now with full mental capacity. I can smell a scammer a mile away. I don't answer phone calls whose name and number I'm not familiar with. In fact, I leave my phone on silent most of time and check periodically for messages. But I'm aftraid when I'm 80 years old, will I lose my scammer detection ability? Will I fall victim to these scammers? Only time will tell.

      Yeah, trying to figure out if asking for good bars and they give it to you is a scam.

      The problem is the person who picks up the money may not be aware of the scam either. The scammers may not live in the same city, state or country.

    Beware of anything financial initiated by an incoming phone call. If it's real, you should be able to call somebody back. Even if it's some place asking for a donation, it could be anybody, and you gave them your credit card number. I don't answer numbers I don't know - they never leave a message.

    Why does the guy holding the gold bar in the plastic package wear his watch backwards?

    • @Michael-hb4wc
      @Michael-hb4wc 2 місяці тому +2

      I'll do that, sometimes, when I wear a watch. It keeps me from hitting, scratching or catching it on something. Its also easier to turn my wrist out than in.

    • @eMDiKhamPha
      @eMDiKhamPha 2 місяці тому +1
