Someone calls and says, “Grandma, i’ve been in an accident …” and so on. Why don’t people ask a few questions? If you’re my grand daughter, what’s my name, when is my birthday, where do I live, what’s my favorite food?

I don’t bother asking them anything.
I’m immediately berating them because I know that they’ve chosen to do this, nobody has put a gun to their head and forced them to do this. They all could collectively stop at anytime and overrun their bosses, they just don’t. So right out of the gate, I’m calling them out for what I know they are. I haven’t gotten a lot of scam calls in quite a while, come to think of it.
You should be aware a lot of scammers are forced to do this:

Yeah but you’ve only presented one example. There’s others that are likely not operating like that. Soooo shrugs
