How do I stop my grandmother from being scammed? This has been going on for months. My family have all told her to stop talking to these scammers on the phone, we've tried to get the police involved, we've tried getting Adult Protective Services involved, we've tried getting her bank ivolved, nobody will do anything to stop her from giving her money away. She's constantly out of money and keeps lying to us about where it's going.

It's her own decision, there's nothing you can do.
Unless you just try just scamming her yourself for her entire life savings, and then giving her an allowance.

Cut her phone line by the sounds of it.

Best thing you can do is take control from her. Take control of her finances away, pay her bills for her, do her shopping for her, don't give her the ability to write checks or use a debit card on her own. Give her some cash she can go shopping on her own with if she wants.

If you can't do that then you genuinely cannot stop her, at all.

or at least change her phone number. once indians scam a phone number successfully, it will be called many times a day for years

theres a service that will endlessly call a number and then hang up, it could get her to switch or take up her time so she doesnt talk to scammers

Just call her, scam her all her money.
You solve 2 problems :
-She doesn't have money anymore so she can't be scammed again
-You got the money so you can buy whatever you want

Cheers
