My grandmother passed along a postcard her local state assemblywoman,
Lynn Daucher (72nd District - R), had sent her advertising a "Senior Scam Stopper Town Hall." I'd be really skeptical of getting much help out of a Republican politician -- or a Democratic politician, for that matter -- (but especially a Republican politican), given the fact that the scam that caught grandma can be traced back to corporate-lobby-written legislation like
Check 21.
Nevertheless, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and sent the following note to her through her website:
My grandmother was recently scammed. I'm working on her behalf to try to right what happened.
She lives in Anaheim and recently received your mailing about your Senior Scam Stopper Town Hall.
She wanted me to share what I've done in response to what happened to her:

This scam looks like it targets seniors and appears to present a huge financial risk to people with checking accounts.
I hope my work is of some assistance. Please contact me at my email address if you have any questions.
I'll post any response I get here.
