There's a reason that many younger people refuse to answer the phone to an unknown number, and it's not just because of social anxiety. Scam calls are a nuisance that we all have to deal with from time to time, but unfortunately, they usually have the highest success rates with the old and vulnerable. At this point, who hasn't gently suggested to an elderly relative that the nice man on the other end of the line doesn't have their best interests at heart?
Thankfully, not every pensioner is oblivious to the tricks of phone scammers. This has been gloriously proven in a recent TikTok, where one grandma got her revenge on an unlucky scam caller. Taking the evangelical route, viewers were impressed with the dedication and skill that led the scammer to actually hang up on her. All of us can only hope to be as cool if we get to be that old.
