Protect your elderly relatives!

My mom, who is computer savvy- she has a CS degree and used to code in COBOL and FORTRAN to process payroll, budgeting and inventory and fell for phone call paypal scammer and let him log into her computer. It took us three weeks to undo everything the scammer did and lock down all her accounts.

Now I have her just not pick up ANY unknown number, but it's hard because her medical offices sometimes call from new numbers.
