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?

Don't ask such generic questions. Most scammers will already have that info. Ask something that's not easy to find. Like what gift I got you last time. What's the dish you hated. Etc.
