She ordered a credit card the other day too. When I ask her who she is talking to she will tell me nobody. I block and deleted messages but someone new comes back. I don’t want to take her phone but it stress me. She will argue that someone is going to give her $120,000 and a car. Lord I hate this disease
My Mom has a RAZ mobility phone that looks like a smart phone but doesn't have any internet, just large pictures for pre-approved contacts that I manage from an app on my smart phone. She complains about it but there was no real alternative. My Mom doesn't drive anymore and has moderate dementia. If your Mom still drives and can figure out ways around your barriers, then you will have your hands full. Consider freezing her credit and talking to her bank about being a prime target for scamming and to ask for alerts of suspicious activity.
