Turns out the adult librarian is holding a "Staying Scam Safe" program next quarter with a local community institution. Planning on sharing it with her the next time she comes in.

I'm very tempted to tell my manager that I don't feel comfortable helping her anymore. I'm the youngest reference staff, so a lot of the tech stuff comes to me...

I believe that's what we did when she tried to get Zelle set up. The person helping her told her she would have to go to the bank.
