Someone calls and says, “Grandma, i’ve been in an accident …” and so on. Why don’t people ask a few questions? If you’re my grand daughter, what’s my name, when is my birthday, where do I live, what’s my favorite food?

Teach yourself and those around you that if someone pressures them, they should end the call and call the person, but NOT BACK.
“Hey grandma, I have been in an accident.” “Okay, I will call back in a moment” now, don’t call the number that called you, but call your e.g. grandson’s number and talk to them.
That kills any scam attempt and ensures that your grandson is talking to you.
That works for your “bank”, or the police, or the government, or a company. For anything. Your bank and your government should appreciate your operational security.
