”Most Americans are inundated with scam attempts on a daily basis — and about 3 in 10 have personally lost money or personal information to scams, according to a new AP-NORC survey.”

When my mother was alive, a Kevin Gates claimed to be a timeshare lawyer and would sell her timeshare. She didn't know Kevin Gates was a rap star. Suspect the scammer used a fake name. Asked her for a retainer and not to tell anyone of her friends and family about it. Told her to tell the moneygram it is for her grandchildren. He got $10,000 out of her before we found out. Money she could not get back. Social Engineering is a scammer's tool against older people.
