Hi, 2me. I know exactly how you feel about the possibility of scams. Fortunately, our banking and bill paying were never online. He no longer uses a computer, and business is now conducted on my Chromebook, which has built-in safeguards. I am not savvy enough to update the software to keep it current on other systems which would easily allow access for someone with bad intent. I think it is a blessing, but who knows? It appears that your husband is still quite capable and outside of you being a super-sleuth to avoid the industrious crooks in the world, I am stymied. But, when the time comes, and you will know it, hide the credit cards and keep his medical cards any place except his wallet . Along with a cell phone, we still have a landline because it is the only phone he can still understand how to use. My heart stops when I hear him pick up a strange number. His short-term memory is shot, but he can rattle off his SSN and Air Force ID without skipping a beat. -- I believe in looking ahead to avoid possible problems, but some are beyond discovery until we are knee-deep in them.

Could we meet for coffee? 🤣. Just kidding (mostly). Thanks for this! He is still quite capable, but wanted to volunteer to deliver Meals on Wheels and has contacted them a few times…but I worry he would forget to go, and they’d be depending on him. I am getting quite good at “call-block” on our landline phone, so that has cut way back on junk calls on the house phone, but even our cell carrier says there is no way to stop some of the junk that gets through on those, via phone or txt. I just have to relax about things I cannot change, and remain vigilant to hopefully avoid some unpleasant surprises. Be well.
