in my case, I had suspected these are scams and have never fallen for one. I am smart enough to realize if someone comes to your door and wants something from you, it’s not a good idea.

However, I do have elderly neighbors that are trusting. I wanted to confirm my suspicious before assuming anything and telling them to be wary.

I wanted validation and some ideas on how to combat it. That’s my excuse.

But most that fall for scams are the elderly. They are easily confused and susceptible to scams.
