I find that difficult to believe since the elderly often fall prey to phony phone scams (fake lotteries et al)

Or...are we simply smart from 55-65 or so,then begin to reverse...

I had always thought that 55+ was undesirable because of a)brand Loyalty and b)up to now most 55+ have been childern of the depression, who quite carfully considered any expenditure of money.

are smarter and generallly do not fall into the traps of dishonesty of some 
advertising.  55+ folks are older & wiser and are not as easily fooled.
