Reloading Scam
Did you or a loved one fall victim of this kind of scam? They usually target elderly citizens.
| QUOTE |
| Reloading is a form of fraud, whereby a victim of one scam is repeatedly approached with more aggressive con artists, often until "sucked dry". This form of fraud is especially hurtful for senior people, because they are more susceptible to pressure after the first losses, partly because of hopes to recover, partly being psychologically unable to say "no" to a con man in time. This form is widespread because people who become victims of, for example, a telemarketing fraud, often are placed on a sucker list. Sucker lists, which include names, addresses, phone numbers, and other information, are created, bought, and sold by some fraudulent telemarketers. They are considered invaluable because dishonest promoters know that consumers who have been tricked once are likely to be tricked again. |
