Well, many elderly people like to think that they are not meant any harm, particually if the person scamming them is "such a nice young man/lady." They are from a time when most people were honest, while now most people are dishonest (especially if they are trying to sell you something.) And then you have the senile elderly who can't remember what the news tells them about not helping strangers and usually fall for sob stories and money making scemes. It really makes you feel bad for them. But then again, you have MLM people who should know better and do it anyway. There wouldn't be scammers if no one fell for it, I guess.
