Scamming the scammers :)

Talking about Medicaid? I've been struggling with issues because my 95 year old, dementia diagnosed mother had so much going on this last year (yes, one year), between attempting to get her on Medicaid, calls from the Nursing Home, and a new twist, ... Hospice care, I get phone calls all the time. And because of the complexity of my mothers care, I felt I had to take the calls, knowing there was (is) a real possibility they are scammers. I finally quit answering completely and let it all go to voice mail. The scammer recordings never make it to voicemail. The important stuff does. I've instructed everyone on my mother's care list to leave a message and I'd call them back immediately. Fortunately, everyone completely understands. My world is much simpler now. I started using the block feature on my phone for those calls now, and I probably have a couple hundred phone numbers blocked now.
