These scammers prefer to target the elderly, because they can be conned or extorted into giving them money. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get any law enforcement action against overseas scammers, although DHS did assist Jamaican authorities in raiding some of these scammers several years ago. You are correct in recognizing that your best response is to change your number.
Contact the phone company to notify them that Jamaican scammers have been targeting your mother with harassing and threatening calls, and request a phone number change to a new unlisted number, without any forwarding message or listing to the new number.
