We got "promoted"
In addition to the usual calls about our credit cards, or "replying to inquires" or from "Nancy, our Medicare patient advocate" we now hear, as we answer: grandpa! or grandma!
I just hang up. Spouse replies You are a scammer! and than hangs up.
Sometimes I wonder, since the goal is to provide directions on how to send money, whether it can help if I use my cell phone to call the police and let them on the conversation, if the "guidelines" can assist in catching the scammers but am not sure.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
