Please help our elderly be more cautious

[88MCSS LS2 6spd]

Hi Bang Shift friends,
due to the nature of an on-going police investigation I cannot go into details
at this time. I would like to put out a warning to everyone who has elderly
relatives in a nursing home or have elderly family who are going into a hospital.
Guard their drivers license and/or state I.D. , and their social security card.
If possible do not take a social security card to a hospital. This can prevent a
criminal from taking a picture of your I.D.s and stealing your identity.
It can happen so fast that within a few days criminals can break into your
accounts and try to set up phony credit card accounts to charge things
to your loved ones. Of course the companies or banks will credit back
your accounts when the fraud is exposed; but the time involved with
tracking this fraud, making police reports, and trying to spend hours
freezing someone's credit after the fact, is mind boggling.

Please help our elderly be more cautious.
Some of our family is freezing our parents credit now so this type of fraud is avoided.
Take Care, Theresa

companies pass ALL costs are passed on to the customers, so in the long run it costs more for everyone.

good point, the more we can help our Elderly the better it is for the entire family.

It's exhausting, and it's like your never gonna get your life back........ (well that was a little drama)
I know things will get back to some type of normal in time
but this transition stage sucks..... thanks again to all of you for your encouragement. Cant wait till next year and all this will be dust behind our wheels
