It is so sad to read about seniors being scammed out of their life savings. Beyond the loss of their hard-earned money, there is the sting of misplaced trust and the regret of having made a wrong decision. This deep wound is particularly devastating when inflicted on the elderly.

The prevalence of scams is a stark reminder that it can happen to anyone. Discovering a scam is deeply disruptive and brutally devastating. It casts a shadow over future acts of kindness and trust, requiring great mental fortitude, emotional resilience, and family support to heal from both psychological and financial scars.
