I'm sorry to hear that -- yes it's so sad.
A very close friend shared that recently her father wired 100k from his nest egg -- thinking the bank contacted him; he is a 75-year-old engineer, a careful, hard-working man --overwhelmed by what he thought was just the new technological way the bank was operating. Too devasting -- and absolutely heart-wrenching that they do this to men and women in their most vulnerable state.
Oh how I do wish a special hell for those who do that to the elderly -- unconscionable
