My dad has a neighbor that is 97 who had a scammer ask her to FEDEX a blank signed check to him for credit card payments that were over due. The FEDEX driver, noticing her age, asked her what was in the envelope and he told her it was a scam. The next day same FEDEX driver returns to her house to pick up another envelope with signed blank check. FEDEX told her that they will no longer service her house. She has no living relatives in the area and refuses to go to assisted living/ nursing home. Neighbors say she has a net worth around $3 million. Last week called my dad and said she was hungry and didn't have any food. Took her down dinner. Told her that I was calling police and social services. She wouldn't answer the door when they came. Called 911 yesterday and demanded something be done. Neighbor had key to her house so went in as a "visit" and the EMS/Fire Department took her to the hospital. Sometimes I wonder if living to 100 is worth it.
