Stranger Danger: Aging and Vulnerability with Bill Collins & Barry Bowman

Hello and welcome to another edition of No Nonsense with Pamela Wallin.

Well, we have all heard the stories, the scam artist who actually takes somebody's life savings from them.

Sometimes their connections with family or connections with community.

We all have somebody older in our life.

And in fact, some of us are getting there ourselves.

And that makes us really a lot more vulnerable.

We may not be as sophisticated with the technology.

We may fall prey to a sob story a little bit more easily than the younger generation who's used to all of this.

So, two guys that I, one I've known for a very long time and one I'm coming to know, are doing something about this.

Today we're going to talk about this whole issue because there is a new radio documentary series out called...

Beware, mysterious mark.

And I think we all have to beware of the mysterious marks that are out there trying to con us on some way or another.

So the producer of this whole story.

idea in this whole series, radio producer, but also a long-standing businessman.

Bill Collins operates, you can see from the sign there if you're watching this, out of Radio Sydney.

And then a longtime friend, way back from the old days in Wadena, Barry Bowman, who was a broadcaster, a legendary broadcaster across Western Canada for many, many, many decades.

One of the things that inspired slightly younger people girls and boys in Wadena, Saskatchewan, to consider media.

So welcome to you both.

Great to see you.
