So she got the text message, hi mum, I've dropped my phone in the water.

She did the right thing and she rang me three times as soon as she got the text message.

Well, my phone was inside and I was outside, so I didn't answer it.

So then she started to engage with the scammer and tried to send them $4,700.

Now, when I did come back inside and see three missed calls, I rang mum and mum said,

Did your phone drop in the water?

I said, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, mum, don't.

Have you?

She said, I've tried to send the money.

I said, okay, okay.

Breathe.

So I'm breathing, trying to not get cranky with her because we'd spoken about that before, but she hadn't taken that on board.

So where my dad, he got the same thing and he just didn't engage, but he got it as a voice call.

So he thought it was me, but I said, dad, did it really sound like me?

He said, no, but it was a female and it had funny noises in the background.

He said, but I just wanted to wait until I spoke to you again.

So he took a different approach than my mum.

So it was a real, they both got same done, but mum, dad did a different approach where mum,

tried really hard to send money through her bank to the scammer.

And I said to her, mum, why didn't you just ring my husband?
