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.

If someone is at that level of incompetency then someone should be takking care of them and doing what you did to help the seniors.
People sign bad contracts all the time and the courts hold them to these contracts, it happened to one of my best friends when his father passed away. He was a total moron for signing a blank contract and I told him so, he went to court to fight it, the judge asked him one question, is this your signature, my friend said yes, the judge nailed him for 14k.
