FBI: Scammers stole more than $3.4 billion from older Americans last year.

"The most commonly reported fraud among older adults last year was tech support scams, in which criminals pose over the phone as technical or customer service representatives. In one such scam authorities say is rising in popularity, criminals impersonate technology, banking and government officials to convince victims that foreign hackers have infiltrated their bank accounts and instruct them that to protect their money they should move it to a new account — one secretly controlled by the scammers."

I can believe it..whenever I visit my father in laws house, who is 82, he gets a phone call like every 10 minutes, and it's almost always one of these.

I'm just thinking about some of the old, ignorant bigots I know... I should learn more about how these scams work.
