    Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam

    It would be pointless with my mother, anything involving technology developed after the 1980s goes were in one ear and out the other.

    She never could work out the VCR, I never even bothered with a DVD player.

    They need to invent a “smart” TV that can be remotely controlled, so I don’t have to come around every time she wants to watch another episode of big bang theory, which apparently is the best show ever.

      It’d be great if popular show casts like BBT would do more PSAs.

      I just told mine, “If someone calls claiming to be me and says that ‘I’ am in trouble and need money, ask them [about thing from my pre-Internet childhood], and if they get the answer wrong, hang up, because it’s someone else imitating my voice.” No tech understanding required.

      You could get a used pc for cheap, doesn’t need to be powerful. Plug in in to her tv, then set up her streaming services on there and then set it up so you can remote into it.
