Wiix, I am very sorry this happened to you. It can be a bit frightening at first. Thanks for starting a thread on this.

Thanks to all contributors of this thread. My mother is a senior citizen and the scam calls come in every day. Some of these scam artists are very convincing in their tactics, as they tap into fear. If my mother has questions about a call, she sends the call to me. I screen the call. Many callers hang up when they are told they have to speak to one of her adult children.

They are told not to call back and there are regulations around this; however, many disregard the request and the regulations.

Great topic to address.
Thanks again.

Warmly,
DejaVu
