  Worldwide recognized the high prevalence of deceit aimed at elderly individuals (Boush,
  Friestad és Wright, 2009; Valant, 2015). Following the active middle-age, aging individuals
  perceive several physiological and psychological changes. Naturally, these changes do show
  individual differences. The aging generation members’ typical communication related and
  social features are to blame for these deceptions, unethical abuse of the vulnerability. Elderly
  individuals are more susceptible to persuasion than younger adults (Visser és Krosnick,
  1998).
  In the present study, we summarize features appeared in the literature which can establish
  older people’s vulnerability. Furthermore, we report an interview-based-study, in which the
  examinees shared their experiences on suspicious offers.
