    I'm hanging out at my 94yo grandma's house this week and she just gets nonstop scam calls and voicemails from the fake IRS saying she's going to be arrested every waking moment.

        She just came to me stressed out to ask whether I thought the latest voicemail (supposedly from the Social Security Administration) was also a scam or if she should call them back. This is a deluge on our elderly and it's disgusting.

        This is already horrible, but what's even more horrible is that this happens in multiple languages. I still have my (late) Chinese grandmother's cell phone and she received/receives all these same voicemail threats—IN CHINESE. I'm sure it's also happening in Spanish.

        My Mom used to get those all the time before she came to live with us. Truly despicable people who prey on the elderly.
