It’s almost always a senior citizen. Older seniors are essentially mentally disabled by varying degrees given their genetics, lifestyle, and age which is why they are so vulnerable to these scams. In low trust societies (both developed & developing) this is largely mitigated with family clans, where multiple generations of a family are living under the same roof. The problem in many developed high trust societies is that families have weaker links and adult children rarely live with their elderly parents. Maybe this will change in high trust societies if real estate continues to be unaffordable for most Millennials?
