May 2019

Shortly after we moved and obtained the number I started receiving calls for her constantly from the same person always from a different number but always with a Jamaica 876 area code . I eventually just blocked all numbers from 876 and that solved the problem for the most part. I received a call for her from a different person again yesterday, still a scam.

I looked up her name and she is 92. It is absolutely infuriating that people prey on the elderly
