  1. Elderly need too be educated protecting thereselve behind the scam

  2. SPACE WARSHIPS:

    I recommend assembling in space. To weld, we have to remove a polymer strip in between to metal plates, automatic welding in space due to vacuum.

    We can really make it work in maybe 14 launches.

  3. I work with the elderly in their homes. This is a constant battle for me to help them not get scammed.

  4. Stupid is as stupid does, who would ever rob a bank when it’s so easy to get granny to pay 😅😅😅

  5. There was some people in china swindling little old ladies by saying they have their grandchild up for ransom

  6. I strongly feel that there's an afterlife and I hope that these willfully corrupt people get theirs maybe something like the deepest depths of hell and let that flesh burn like you've burned people. Hey if this is possible this life that we're all experiencing which is pretty unbelievable, then anything is possible with death, death in itself is going to be a promotion and a demotion for others. You should think twice and always do the right thing in life because your soul depends on being good.

  7. It's not only from social media. I guess if you give a talk at a conference or event they can also find your voice through that as well. Bottom line is these fraudsters are getting more and more unscrupulous and are definitely tech-savvy to use latest AI advances.

  8. We have to get that piece of crap out of the wh before Joe steps on himself YouTube

  9. I am 74! (female). How can you get that dumb? And doesn't the grandson have any parents? It is not age, folks, it is education, and be it by life experience.
    I lately threw out two fraudulent plumbers who tried to exhort more money from me than I had agreed on with the company – I admit, I felt a bit shaky, as they were two fairly sturdy men, but I succeeded with a mixture of coaxing and threat😃

  10. How are you so low in life that you have to scam people to get money…🤦‍♂️

  11. She should know better, old and dumb

  12. Pretty bad when you have to say: I'll need to verify this information, Call me back in 30 minutes.

  13. Maga stupid has no bounds

  14. They'll always be these people who don't have a clue, sad but oh well.

  15. Jim Jones wearing sunglasses drink up :buffering::planet-orange-purple-ring: Biden is the president of the united states not the prime minister of Israel

  16. These scammers are the lowest of the low 😡 disgusting.

  17. I hate thieves who prey on elderly.

  18. And you are so stupid to believe his voice. I’d hang up and call my grandson. Can’t believe even old people are still so gullible. Btw, I’m 67. I’d call my loved one before paying sh*t. My motto: “if your path demands you walk through hell, then walk as if you OWN the place.” And I damn sure do.

  19. It was the grandson all along scamming his grandma for drug money. Pretty ingenious.

  20. That is so sad. I feel for this woman. I feel so bad for everyone that this happens to. I miss the days when we could have public hangings. Because really jail is too good for people who do these kind of things.

  21. Awwww, she was in such a panic, she wasn't thinking things through. She's a loving grandma, seemingly. Always call the police station or courthouse to confirm any situation like this.
    I hope you find peace. Don't beat yourself up for caring about your grandson. ❤

  22. "Make your videos private so grandma's don't get scammed."
    This guy isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
    Neither is grandma.

  23. That’s why I don’t talk when answering a unidentified caller. You will notice that those types of calls time out and disconnect automatically because it’s a scam system.
