Call the police immediately. If you have been swindled, or suspect fraud, contact your local police department. Otherwise, crooks will continue to con innocent citizens such as yourself. Make an effort to get an accurate description of a criminal-remember things such as age, race, complexion, body build, clothing, height and weight, hair, eyes, or unusual features. Contact your local victim assistance agency to help you deal with the trauma that all crime victims experience.
Many agencies have specialized programs for senior citizens.
If a fraud looked like a fraud, then nobody would fall for it. Most of the time it looks like a great deal, too good to be true, a gift a business opportunity, or a chance to make a fast dollar. This is why citizens lose millions of dollars to con artists every year. Most of us think that these swindles only happen to someone else, but con artists are experts in psychology. They know how to gain your confidence and trust.
