please talk to your partner about this.

You have bigger problem than the scam if u are unable to divulge this to your life partner.

If your partner choose to give u shit for this he/she is not a good partner.

Kasi chan la.

I seen it first hand similar situation. It was 15 years ago. Family friend, auntie age 60+ . Definitely not dumb type as she is tauke of some hardware shop. She received call that started with identifying question. Got her whole family name. Then proceed to tell her "your son will die tonight". She panic mode straight cannot think and follow all the instruction. Scammer asked her to take out all jewelery and tanam somewhere. Luckily the safe deposite box she didnt know how to open. When ask her she staright say damn scared when they said her son dying, after that like auto mode just jalan only.
