To be frank, it is all extremely believable to me that a normal person who had never encountered that type of scam or doesn’t someone who had (which is a massive number of people) would fall for it.

I am just happy my mother fell into the pattern of messaging me instantly when she has an even slight suspicion. Had a few false positives, but overall i am very happy with how well this approach has been working out for her. Saved a ton of trouble down the road for both of us.

Just wait a moment
