Really Despicable

I don't want to pass judgement before knowing the accusations are true, but, if so this type of thing is truly despicable. I wrote about taking advantage of people's faith to make money a few months back, but at least there they are making their own decision based on real beliefs...In this story, the business allegedly is taking advantage of a guy who had no idea and no control over it. A business has charged an elderly man with dementia a reported $32K over the last few years to rent a mailbox, taking advantage of the man's short-term memory loss, charging him  498$ over 72 times throughout that period. The business owner claims that the two "had an agreement."

This type of thing is why you need to pay attention to what is happening with you and your money and why you really need to protect yourself. You can't rely on people to be honest because, unfortunately, someone will find a way to exploit that...
