There have also been people taken by scammers posing as relatives in trouble. I have heard of 2 elderly people in my small town who were taken for a lot of money this way. No greed on their part.

No but many of the scammers tell the marks “Don’t tell my parents”. It plays to their desire to be the “hero” over the parents.
