I email my mom several times a month with info about the different scams going around. I hear about them all week because I help manage email servers, so we are always changing passwords for people that tell us they were scammed by X, Y, or Z.

The worst right now are the ones offering some kind of rebate or refund, and then a really tricky one where they overpay and have you send money to another "vendor" in the amount of the over-payment.

Elderly people where my wife works are constantly scammed by people telling them they are due for their free cancer screening, or their "grandchild" is asking them for bail money.
