Correct, Tialuvslotto, even easier to notice and respectfully and gently create a friendship, then inform an elderly person: living near your home, 80+ years old, poor-to-wealthy, with/without visitors.

Just for clarification, Maringoman, this is your belief ... Even if most of these unrecoverably violated people: Are over 85+ years old; 80% of time have mild-to-high dementia; and Don't have/Can't afford a daily care-giver or nursing home staffer to answer their phone -- using mid-level judgement skills to hang up on these uber efficient, megalomaniac '5-year-to-full retirement business plan' thieves

Well said, Grwurston!

Excellent suggestions for protecting our grandparents and other elderly relatives.

These scammers can be very convincing and they are relentless. Six or seven calls a day from several different phone numbers is not unusual. They will tell their victims they won a sweepstakes or a new car and will deliver the car to their house. A lot of the elderly people they target are people that may be showing the early stages of dementia and therefore either aren't thinking or reasoning clearly. They may not remember things and therefore can be easily convinced that they entered a contest... [ More ]

It got worse because some people want to believe so bad that they don't think straight when they get those e-mails. It's sad. But as sad as it is, I think the victims should know better.

I just think there are victims who deserve protection by tax payers. For example the victims of Target credit card breach are victims. Ditto the victims of Home Depot credit card breach.

Quote from Lottery Post News article:

It's good that the scam artists got charged but what about the greedy people who believe that they have won a lottery they never played? should their greed go uncorrected

So what you are telling me is I should ignore that e-mail from Jamaica? OK, I'll do that. But those from Kenya are still good, right

A plea agreement filed last month calls for O'Hara to plead guilty to conspiracy, which carr... [ More ]
