My grandmother, 88, won't have a thing to do with a computer. Every now and them she gets a scam phone call. You know people call her saying she has won a Grant from the US GOV or that someone, "important" to her has been arrested and the need her checking account info. She is so funny when she gets these calls. She plays along and then spends the next 20 minutes or so telling them all about how her children have abandoned her or won't come over, then she ends by saying "Oh to hell with them! They can rot in hell for all care the ingrates!" and then hangs up. LOL

When the dude with a heave arabic voice called her telling her she had won a US Grant and all she had to do was give him her checking account info, she gave him some serial number off of a prescription. ROTFLMAO. She went on and on about how horrible terrorists were and how we are good people who don't deserve to be murdered.. She gave that poor bastard an earful before she gave him the bogus number. I about crapped myself when she said "ok I have my checking acount info right here" and she was holding an old prescription bottle and began reading the numbers off of it.

After she hung up, she just goes "hum" and sets the prescription down and goes over and sits down and starts to read her paper. My brother and I were in stitches. It was so cute and damn funny.

For an 88 year old women, when she is on the ball, she is on it.
