Does anyone have any tips for talking to their parents about elder-targeted scams? My mom is on Facebook and I think she is usually pretty canny, but I want to encourage her to reach out to me if she ever starts talking to someone new online that could be a romance scam or similar. I don't want to insult her or invade her privacy if she is talking to someone real, and I'm just not really sure of the best way to start that conversation.

One of my grandmothers was poisoned and robbed by mail-order medication scams, thankfully we saw the mailers once when we were visiting before it got ruinously or dangerously far, but she never thought to reach out and ask because she was very proud and didnt think it was anyone else's business. That was 15-20 years ago and the scams seem supercharged compared to then, and I'd like to avoid that if possible.
