falling prey

We've all heard about those scams that target seniors trying to get at their money, and I can't count how many emails I've gotten from deposed African monarchs wanted my help to regain their fortune. There are also scammers who are more focused on whom they prey on. They take the time to research who they are going after. Being disabled, we are often perceived as more gullible, less able to protect ourselves.

The old adage, 'if it seems too good to be true, then it must be' works well here. Just be aware you might be a target, and if you think you are being scammed, call the police.
