“To fall for scams like these mentioned, a person must not have much of a grip of reality.”
Indeed. My mother has dementia. She called me one day to tell me about the nice men in a pickup truck who gave her a free freezer full of meat. My sister and I - we have co-power of attorney - immediately began our “snooping,” as Mama calls it, and discovered an enormous charge on her credit card. Suffice it to say that the charges were removed and the company returned to collect that freezer and its contents.
I am sorry. I fear the my mom is headed there.
