We have to find these scammers and summarily execute them. It’s the only way to send the message.
Old folks are often slightly mentally compromised. My sharp-as-a-tack multi-millionaire grandfather fell victim to one of these scams and figured it out just after he sent the money. He thought he was helping my idiot cousin, but it was one of the scams where they speak softly on the phone where an old person can’t hear, then con the name of the relative out of the old person, and say they’re in jail and need bail, need money to not get evicted, etc.
And the biggest scammers of all are those in government. They're ripping off *millions* of fixed income elderly folk who after 50++ years of paying punitive taxes, the government still seizes property taxes on their homes, homes they finally own free and clear after they've paid taxes on those homes for decade after decade. And if they don't keep paying up, they'll seize their homes as well.
Identity theft people need to be executed as well.
