The Villages is indeed a target rich environment for unscrupulous individuals and companies that want to easily prey on possibly/probably vulnerable older folks. Most of the 100,000 residents have sufficient funds to have purchased a home, with or without a mortgage, and have money available to maintain it and otherwise lead their mostly nonworking lives independently. Villagers' families and lifelong friends usually live at least a few hours away by car or plane and may not be readily available for or capable of financial counsel.
