In Osaka, Shunichi Takahashi prevented an elderly woman from being scammed by a man claiming to be a municipal worker. Despite the woman’s irritation and insistence that she was fine, Takahashi alerted police and followed her to a convenience store ATM, where the scammer hung up upon noticing police presence.

I can’t imagine the average person going out of their way like this to prevent a stranger from being scammed, especially with the way she treated him.
I’m glad there are good people in this world too.
That’s the issue with old people being scammed. They insist that they aren’t even when you show the proof, making them the perfect victims.
Good man.
