I have been an AARP member for twenty five years or more and their magazine often has interesting material over those years concerning scams that are directed to older folks.

Some are obvious to any alert person who isn’t likely to give Social Security number or credit card numbers to every sweet voiced Southern girl who rings just to check something out for you. Some are harder to believe, like the number of priests who have managed to persuade widows and sometimes widowers to will their property to the ever present and persistent cleric.
