Hello Angelique67: I'm sorry you are encountering this difficulty. Periodically one reads, in our metropolitan newspaper, about instances where seniors have been defrauded, assaulted or even murdered. I'm afraid the unfortunate reality of the situation is that we can be easy pickings...

I have to say that I have been lucky to not have any problems, at least so far, related to being targeted because I am older. And in addition, where I live, the police are very responsive to what they refer to as "quality-of-life" issues. If we call about something that is of concern, they show up.
