They’ve done it before; (where was it again?)
Sleazebags.
It’s indeed elder abuse.
My elders got taken for 7,000 over a period of a couple years, by nonprofit/political groups...
Once they contributed $20 to the first one, they got put on a mailing list, which then snowballed ...
When I found out about it, they were getting solicitation letters from fifty (yes, fifty) different organizations.

That’s horrible.
I know exactly what you mean. After my father and stepmother passed away within a few days of each other, I gave the post office my address so that any important mail would be forwarded, but much of the solicitation mail got forwarded as well and eventually they updated their lists with my address. It took me a full year and dozens of letters to put an end to that. The most persistent was Planned Parenthood, I had to get really nasty to get them to go away. She was a sweet old lady from Texas, but a crazy moonbat liberal, and I know it wasn’t my father who was giving the money away.
I should have expected it though when I cleaned out their apartment-I put out several trash bags full of junk solicitation mail that had accumulated, and continued to pour in on a daily basis.
