elderly fraud scam

Dennis Menton, Navy veteran, holds a portrait of himself at his Orlando, Florida home, January 23, 2012. Menton, now 87, served in three wars, raised a son, retired from Orlando Utilities Commission and, after his wife died, seemed to be doing fine alone in the house where he has lived for nearly 40 years. But in 2010, Menton's family noticed that he had signed thousands of dollars worth of checks made out to a recipient they didn't know. (Jacob Langston/Orlando Sentinel/MCT)
