I'm saying there are more traumatized grandmothers because of street gangs rather than scam organizations
Considering how rampant identity theft is today, I doubt this. Seniors are primary targets of fraud.
I would prefered to be scammed contra being robbed at gunpoint by Tyrone and his seven brothers.
I'm sure you would, and you'll get your wish because you're more likely to be a victim of the type of fraud carried out by mobsters than of being robbed by Tyrone and his seven brothers.
