This report fails to describe the connection between seniors losing their homes and the nursing homes that were shut down.

Throw the book at these scammers. They get 50yrs for elder abuse and fraud.

Whether scammers live in America or other countries, they must be hunted down and disposed of quickly. Whether it's money or homes or whatever else they are scamming people on they need to be dealt with swiftly.

Sounds like Solar salesman preying on the elderly. 😂

Retire and get out of the state as soon as possible.

People think these scammers are overseas, and a lot of them are, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of these scammers are hiding in plain sight and are connected in some way to the victims and know intimate details about their targets.

I don't care if it isn't a violent crime.

Taking advantage of the elderly. How dare they?

In reality, elderly people are losing homes because the justice system is a JOKE.
Rite?

Disgusting. I wonder when these places were last inspected and why no employees or family members spoke up about the deplorable conditions. Stealing from those poor souls is repugnant. Those responsible had better not get slaps on their wrists.
