Fear of scams

Millions of older people live in fear of scams and a huge number worry about answering the phone or front door

One in five older people fear picking up the phone and one in 10 worry about opening the front door in case it is a scammer, new research reveals.

Although anyone can be scammed, older people are at greater risk of becoming victims of certain kinds of fraud, particularly those who live alone or are cognitively impaired or recently bereaved, says Age UK.

I’m particularly afraid of that scam where unsuspecting folk are persuaded go to “polling stations” and give votes to people who shoved glossy leaflets through the door then don’t deliver what they promised. That one has been going on for a long time and it’s about time it was dealt with.

Then there’s that Net Zero scam where we are persuaded to pay a lot of money for electricity generation that doesn’t work properly.

And don’t get me started on that GP business – what are they supposed to be?
