The responsibility is yours to research a company before hiring them.
I also have to add that I'm a little offended by the implication that elderly people are more susceptible to being scammed. I suppose some are--especially those who are impaired in some way or who are uneducated. But, that can apply to young people as well. I know more young people who were victims of scams than I have found in my peer group.

Actually studies have shown that not only are seniors easier to scam, they also tend to trust a complete stranger more than family members.
