The Challenge
The caller was very convincing, providing details about her home and emphasizing urgent maintenance issues that supposedly needed attention. Trusting the caller, Carol almost agreed to schedule an appointment. However, she started feeling uneasy when the caller requested an upfront payment, and the situation began to feel too high-pressure. Fortunately, Carol hesitated and sought advice from a Golden Advisor before making any decisions. Upon further research, it became clear that the call was a scam, preying on seniors by using scare tactics and offering fraudulent services.
