    My wife and I cared for her grandmother in her final years. This old woman learned to hand the phone to me when it was a scammer because I’d hassle them with whatever persona I wanted to use that day. I’m no Kitboga but she thought it was funny. And nobody got any money from her.

    It seemed like they would try to get some small amount from her at first - like $250. She got caught out by it once, where she paid them the small amount, then they would come back “needing” a larger (five-figure) amount.
