It's tough on the wiring money end... a dude from Jamaica scammed my parents into wiring money several times.
I just happened to be at their home once when the guy called - otherwise, who knows how much he'd have gotten out of my elderly parents. They were CONVINCED that they had won a million dollars and had to pay some "fees" to collect the prize.
No amount of discussion could get my mom to believe me, that this WAS a scam.
With Dad's agreement, we: Changed their phone number and made it unlisted. Closed their bank account and opened a new one. Changed mail pickup to a PO box so my sister could get the mail... and throw away the junkmail before mom got a hold of it, (as Mom was also sending donation checks to various mail scams).
SO if you have elderly parents - it pays to pay attention and be wary. If your parents will permit it - it is good to review their financial transactions. My parents were NOT stupid people... they had just became a bit unfirm in their mental capacities when they got old.
VERY SAD, but it happens to lots of elderly folks... both the scamming and becoming mentally unfirm.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
