Hey everyone, I'm so sorry for not being here. I was in hospital the last week. So I'm on the mend and looking forward to seeing how you all have been,......how have you all been? Anything fun or interesting you'd like to share???

I had a young lady call me today to ask me what to do about her elderly grandmother messaging with a younger man, who is probably scamming her. Like a love scam. The grandkids have seen text that she would do anything for this man (if not a bot) and are very alarmed. I told her that they could lock her credit with the 3 credit agencies to make it harder for this scammer to open accounts in her name. It is a tough situation as she controls all the finances in this home. Any other suggestions to curb the harm this scammer is bound to do to this family?
