#CallScreening
A support phone number inside a computer warning is a reason to pause.
Avoid the number in the alert. Choose an established technician or trusted helper instead, and don’t grant an unfamiliar caller access.

@thewalrus Thank you for covering this. No real lawyer or court asks a family to hand over cash in an envelope, and hanging up to call your grandchild on a number you already have can stop it.
@FBIPhiladelphia Thank you for sharing this. Pressure to act fast is one of the biggest red flags, so pausing and calling someone you trust before paying anyone can stop a lot of these.
Scam calls from unknown numbers? SAM Screening is call screening for older adults. Callers you don't know have to say who they are and why they're calling before your phone rings. You decide: take the call or a message. Now in beta. https://t.co/Xfbfzn8SjO #ScamCalls
An online sweetheart you haven’t met asks for emergency money? Pause.
Don’t send money or gifts. Discuss the request with someone you trust before acting.

@KWCH12 Thank you for covering this. Families can help by agreeing on one simple rule: never let a caller rush a payment, and check with someone you trust first.
