No. It would be against the law. Someone scamming old people and taking their food would be arrested. And thrown in jail.

It doesn't matter if they convinced them to hand over their stuff. It's still illegal to promise and run off.

Asshats like to be cops and they like to be lazy. So they often don't protect old people from scammers like these. But it's still illegal.
