[quote=Anonymous]Elderly can be particularly vulnerable to these scams when they are recently widowed. Scammers will look through obituaries to see who has a surviving spouse. The obituaries will also usually list other surviving family members like children and grandchildren. The scammer will find a widow/widower with college age grandchildren and give the same type of story that was given to OP's mom--out of town with friends, got into some type of legal trouble and need bail/lawyers fees--PLEASE DON'T TELL MY PARENTS! Etc. It's nice to see some PPs have stories where store clerks/bank tellers were able to see the warning signs and intervene.[/quote]
