What do you think about elderly people who cheat (scam) those who try to help them?

First, I think it’s not a good thing to do no matter you are old or young. For me, integrating is an important personality, everyone should keep… you should always follow the true things otherwise it’s difficult for people to work together or set up a relationship with each other in the social. Another side, if someone have helped you, at least you should express your thankful to him or to her because it’s not a easy thing for others to give you a hand when you need help. We should not take other people’s good will take it as .. it’s what they should do… What’s more, this kind of case will cause more and more people don’t believe in others and more and more people not willing to help others. It damaged the moral standard of the social. That’s what I thought.
