Elderly neighbours being scammed of all their money from their gardener.
Our elderly neighbours have had a gardner tend to their property for a few years. He has gang affiliation and in a past life been involved with a gang. He started off doing the usual gardening and some handyman jobs around their place. As time has gone by, he is almost their maid. He arrives every day but seemingly does nothing.
Multiple neighbours have raised their concerns with him as it is super obvious what he is doing. These elderly people have no children and their siblings live at the opposite end of the country. We have tried to call agencies that are meant to protect elderly people from exactly this, but have been told they can’t do anything unless the victims themselves reach out for help.
These elderly people are completely brainwashed by him and thinks he is simply wonderful and can do no wrong. But whenever they aren’t around, he has verbally abused other neighbours and even caused damage to their car with his own car. Everyone feels terrible because it seems like nothing can be done until all their money has been siphoned and he moves onto the next victim. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
