It's so obviously a scam when I get one of those calls or emails, I don't even both to reply. Just erase or delete. However, it's a numbers game. These characters prey on people over 80 (or anyone else who's a little mentally impaired or gullible). If you do it enough with a wide enough sampling of the population, you'll hit on a few susceptible "marks" who'll respond to your con. Good the Feds nailed those suckers.

I had a new one the other day. Very authoritative voice identifies himself as someone from the Yakima County Sheriff's Department. Wanted me to verify my name, etc. I paused and asked him why, if he was with the Yakima Sheriff's, he was calling from Spokane. Click. They're tricky. Hang up on them.
