## Resource

A 75-year-old man in Cleveland, sweltering in 100-degree heat, was caught trying to buy Apple gift cards—classic scam bait. An officer spotted him looking unwell, recognized the red flag, and called EMS to check for heatstroke. The man, already exhausted from chasing buses, was taken to the hospital for safety. This chilling tale reminds us: scammers target the vulnerable, and one quick intervention can save someone from disaster.
