If you are a moron when you are young you will more than likely be a moron when you get old.
If it was not for morons most scams would not work, regardless of age!

At 73 no, another 5/10 years then yes.
I've got some clients who were able to spot spam/scam a few years ago but can't do it now ( And their kids are going crazy.).
A lot of this is pointed at seniors ( I'm blessing the fact that I set up so many accounts with seniors as "guest" . ) They don't "get it" any longer; they really can't tell.
It's an extension of mail and telephone scammers, they target the seniors with a series of probes, and move in on the mentally failing ones.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that your senior just "stumbled" over this; it was deliberatlely sent/set-up, to steal from someone like him.
I used to think that seniors on line was a great idea but now I'm having second thoughts.
