Such a fine line to walk when our loved ones are slowly losing their discernment and when their vulnerability rises over time. We want to honour them, to retain their dignity, and to encourage every bit of autonomy they can muster, but the dangers of them losing valuable security and finances are real. The lizard-brains out there don't give a fig about you, them, or any harm they may do. They just want work, and the work they need is in the scam call centers overseas. Most of them, anyway. Some are done by your next door neighbours.

Hi, @kmliste - are you talking about scams specifically targeting those with early dementia/mild cognitive impairment? Or another, broader population?
