People are scum. I just spent 5 hours helping my 87 yo mom contact banks and credit card companies to recoup money. She called a number she found on google for customer service to cancel Youtube TV and instead called some scammer that convinced her to download an info sharing app onto her iphone. Yup, he emptied her bank accounts and bought numerous online gift cards. I deleted the app but who knows what else they retrieved.
Pardon me while I throw myself under the coming snow plow.

My mom made it to age 90 before anyone scammed her. They spoofed the Apple support number, and her iPhone recognized th caller ID and displayed the Apple logo and corporate address in addition to just the phone number. It looked very legit.
At least the folks in the Apple Store spent several hours of their time helping her lock down all her accounts and notifying the credit bureaus.
