These people are ****, l believe that banks who have customers of that age, should have a system where the banks contact a second number, ie one of the family who can check why this sum of money has been paid, until the money goes forward.

I.e, OAP contacted, say 1.000, the bank won't clear the money until, a gaurdian is contacted, if all clear, bank clears it.

I remember a few years ago l had a call to say that l had won a trip to Florida, but l had to pay £5.000 to Florida to collect the prize first, then they asked for my bank details, as soon as l said my son was a policeman, they put the phone down, we tried the number, and all we heard was a burrrr.
