[Nfbsf] Possible New List

[Deborah Proctor]

Is anyone interested in discussing exploitation of  visually impaired 
seniors?   Is no one in your organization aware  that white collar criminals 
have figured out that visually impaired seniors are easy targets for 
financial exploitation and estate theft?    Are you not aware they can't 
read documents they sign or  see what transactions are being carried out by 
agents?  Are you aware they're  handing life savings over to criminals via 
estate plans drafted by unethical attorneys who have no requirement to 
protect disable citizens?  Perhaps your organiziation only deals with those 
who have been blind since birth and therefore learned how to protect 
themselves from these predators.  If so, could you reach out to the newly 
blind, those with macular degeneration or diabetes who never learned 
braille, or developed an established network of friends who protect them 
from these crimes?

Why does no one respond to this question? Will you too not respond?
