Exploring Elder Scams

This week, Danny covers Leah Remini’s new harassment and defamation lawsuit against the Church of Scientology. Next, he dives into some international elder scams: first, a 73-year-old New York grandmother named Jean, who outsmarted a scammer posing as her grandson; then, police in Thailand dismantling an international operation that cheated the elderly out of $87 million; and finally, Japan’s plan to curb elder scams—by taking away their bank cards.
