No he should not be interred as incompetent in a nursing home. This scam is brilliantly done, in fact, you can't get taken if you're incompetent. You have to be rational enough to understand that your grandchild is in trouble and bawling their eyes out over the phone. There is also a flattering element to it that the grandparent is the one trusted when the grandchild is in trouble. My aunt? $4000. At that time the request was for cash which should be electonically sent. I blame Walmart for not asking my 89 year old aunt if she had heard of the grandparent scheme before they transacted her cash plus an $85 fee for doing so. Anyway, Walmart had warnings up not to send money to someone you don't know. But she thought she knew him, that it was her grandson. Her husband worked hard to support her and their 8 children. He would have turned over in his grave to know this happened to her. She died about a year ago but I will never get over it.
