Yeah they do target the elderly back in 2007 my mother believed she won the big lottery just had to send bank information to Kingston and$500 ( she had Alzheimer's ) when we found out we quickly changed account# but we were too late for the$500 . So it does happen. It was a wake up call for us and we had to take control of all finances. She continued to get calls and she continued to believe that she won so we changed phone number that they had for 60 years and it finally stopped .
