Got a frantic call from an older lady I know.
She got a call that a car registered to her name was in an accident near the Mexico border etc, and asked her to verify her SS# number, which she then gave them. When they asked her to go the bank to wire them funds so she does not get arrested, she realized she was being scammed and hung up.
I immediately had her put on her freeze on her credit files and told her to carefully monitor bank statements and the like. Is there anything else I should advise her to do?
TIA.
