    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

    older people’s vulnerability. Furthermore, we report an interview-based-study, in which the
    examinees shared their experiences on suspicious offers.
