Here is a preview. My grandmother was targeted and pursued nonstop i a ring of fraudsters. Over time, these individuals use creative and cunning tactics to gain her trust. They told her she had won a large cash prize and all she needed to do was pay the taxes and fees. I first realized my grandmother was a victim of elder fraud by the last conversation i ever had with her. Reliving that phone call is very painful. That she needed 6,000 wired to her as an as possible. Her forceful tone and desperation was very upsetting. I could hear the panic in her voice and she was very, very afraid. This phone call set off many red flags and everyone grew extremely concerned about her financial gelation. Financial situation. We do not know of a single time in her entire life where she ever borrowed money from an individual. My father informed me that he had wired her 8,000 the week prior and he assured me he was trying to find out what was happening. He mentioned his fears that someone was scamming her, but because she was so desperate and scared, he sent her the 6,000 she wanted anyway. Sadly, she died less than a week later. It pains me to talk about my grandmothers horrific death because she chose to take her own life. It is extremely hard to imagine a loved one committing suicide, but she did. Because these individuals prayed on her and herd good heart. Her golden years and the last chapter of her life was taken from her. It is clear to us that the circumstances that led to her death were caused by these criminals. That entire senate aging Committee Hearing on robo call fraud airs tonight on cspan at 8 00 eastern.
