It is too bad that there are such lowlifes out there anxious to separate the unknowing from their money.
I read recently in The Daily Sun how some Villager was withdrawing $4,000 in cash from Citizens First Bank. The teller asked why he needed so much cash and he said the IRS had told him to use Western Union to wire them back taxes and penalties. The teller had the Villager talk with the manager who contacted the police. Long story short is that the good people at Citizens First saved the Villager lots of money! They are a great bank.
You would think, however, that all people now would have heard of that IRS scam, the grandparent scam, or the friend in a foreign jail scam by this time and would not fall for them.
Do those people who fall for the scams be made to have their money and securities in some sort of a controlled account that could be accessed by them and an appointed conservator?
