My old Mam is constantly bombarded by these people in every guise from funeral planners to fraud teams at the bank. I've eventually got her to understand that if she isn't expecting the call or doesn't know them then she needs to simply put the phone down
Elderly neighbour of my Mam got totally fleeced in a phone scam over bank security recently - lost a pretty considerable amount of cash.
If you've not seen it, watch "Cold Call" Episode 1 - it really is that easy
Personally speaking, these people are the absolute scum of the earth and I wouldn't shed one tear for them if they came to a noisy, messy end.
Keep the message on the agenda when your dealing with the old folks in in your life - they are constant targets
