Sadly that's who the frauds/scammers usually targets i.e., poor, desperate, "dumb", naive, etc...because it's easy money...for them to steal...

Easiest scam is to get the data base of all the old folks with dementia.  You show them a box worth 10,000 bux and you say this is an order goods.  Will be here in 2 weeks for $100. 

With that disease, they lose their memory so they forget and being forgetful, they don't remember what happen to report to the police. 

Crimes of humanity should be hang n shot again.
