100% this. I had a neighbor who was caring for their elderly, bed-ridden mother. She was almost entirely blind, diabetes took her foot, and had the TV on the televangelist 24/7 channel. Yet she would sneak and get the phone and send televangelists all her money. They tried to hide the phone, she would manage to mail them checks. She set up recurring debits from her bank. Crackheads are less determined. They were in such a bad place their gas got shut off because all her money was going to these people. Family was crazy about it, and had no way to stop it with the bank.
