Scammed in the name of love: Seniors are targeted online

Neal Zipser's father is in love, but he isn't happy about his father's romance. That's because his dad, an 80-year-old who came into some considerable money in the 1980s, has spent over half a million dollars on his new girlfriend.
What's more, Zipser's father has never met his own girlfriend.
"It started when he got an email from a lady in Ghana. She sent a photo and said she was 37-year-old nurse who could take care of him in his old age, and they basically started an online dialogue," said Zipser, who works two jobs in Raleigh-Durham, N.C.
