Help After a Scam: Seniors & Families FAQs
Can you get the money back?
We can’t promise that. Call the bank or card company first, because speed matters most. We handle the technology side and help you report it.
Should we turn the computer off?
Disconnect it from the internet and call us. Don’t let anyone “help” remotely unless you called them yourself.
Will Mom still get email from new people she wants to hear from?
Yes. Anyone can be added to her approved list in seconds, by her or by a family member, and their email shows up from then on.
Does call screening block doctors and pharmacies?
Not if they’re on the approved list, and we add them at setup. Unknown callers can be asked to say who they are, so a new doctor’s office can still get through or leave a message.
