This sounds so bad that I think there should be TV ads about how to recognise scammers, both telephone and others, just like we used to have road safety adverts, because it seems that many people are unable to differentiate between scams and genuine callers.
I'm sure we here would recognise them quite easily, but there must be many people - mostly old people (yes, I know we're old people!) I should think who are far too trusting, largely because the world they were brought up in was a far more honest one.
