<p>[QUOTE="VACookey, post: 1170748, member: 29547"]I know people say "buyer beware" but it's not that easy for some elderly people. My father is elderly and he doesn't want to be rude to people so he'll agree to whatever they ask if they will just leave him alone. Stop calling or let him hang up. I can't tell you how many times a salesperson would call and my dad would just agree to whatever they were selling and then he'd ask me to please send it back. Finally, I got him a cell phone and he doesn't get those calls anymore.</p><p> </p><p>Many elderly people don't know how to deal with aggressive salespeople like that. It's a shame that this woman didn't have someone close to her who could watch out for stuff like that. Nowadays, my father gives me every mailer/flyer/advertisement he gets and asks me if it's a good deal before he buys. 99% of the time I tell him no.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
