Frequently Asked Questions

They won't admit they were scammed.

Shame keeps victims silent. Don't lead with blame. Daily check-ins maintain your connection and trust, making them more likely to confide in you when something feels wrong.

How do I protect them from future scams?

Regular contact is the best prevention. Scammers target isolated people. Daily check-ins keep you in their daily life, making it harder for scammers to establish trust-based manipulation.

Should I take over their finances?

That's a significant legal step. Start with daily check-ins to monitor their overall state, then consult an elder law attorney about appropriate financial safeguards.

They're getting suspicious calls daily.

Help them register on the Do Not Call list, set up call blocking, and stay connected through daily check-ins. Your regular presence makes them less likely to engage with strangers.
