I just have to vent. I’m dealing with scammer problems in family accounts on a weekly basis now. It’s cray-cray. In the last 8 months I’ve handled:
\n– 5+ credit cards with typical “what’s this weird charge?” fraud
\n– 4+ “my relative got scammed into signing up for this fraudulent thing”
\n– many crises averted with relatives asking “should I sign up for this fraudulent thing?” (I’m so glad they called!!)
\n– 2 “why is this otherwise legitimate insurance so much more expensive than it should be????” One insurance was double the cost, one was 8 times more expensive than it should have been!!!
\n– 1 “my relative is courting a pig butchering scammer because she’s lonely.”<\/p>\n
All of the red flags are there but it takes a steady hand and many careful words to resolve every instance! I’ve only actually cried about it once but am getting ready to do more of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
