My mother gets frequent calls from medical supply companies selling diabetic testing supplies. She is sometimes asked to verify personal information, including her Social Security number. I find that I have to repeatedly tell her not to give out that information. People in that age bracket are overly trusting (she is 97).

Sometimes I get so frustrated that I want to pull her phone out !
