Funny video. :wah:

I think I shall use your thread, koan, to present some of the scams that are used against the elderly.

Frauds and Scams - Frauds and Scams Used Against the Elderly

So do be careful, especially if your are elderly. You are seen as vulnerable.

Yeah, I stopped a moneygram scam from getting $2000 from this one lady. She was told her grandson needed the money for an emergency. I told her to call her son and make sure he knew about it too.

What's shocking is there is an element of truth to this. Some people are just stupid. Good post though.

I'd like to take their "Interactive Signs of Life" quiz. How do I find the link?
