The woman who owns the copy UPS shop next to Harvest in Wolfeboro must've prevented at least a dozen elderly people in the past year who were bringing $5-10K in cash to mail out to scam artists.

All of them were embarrassed but grateful to her, and she told me it typically is geared to people over 70 years old who get caught up in it.

Being vigilant may be more difficult for single older people living alone who don't get many phone calls and the caller 'seems' honest.
