Bill Wright explained:

Did he have a receipt?

No. They took cash off him.

I just do not understand why people are prepared to hand
over cash without a receipt. Somebody who is eighty-years
old plus will have lived through the 1930s which would
have taught them a thing or two.

Trouble is it was a year ago, and it would be his
word against theirs.

Without a receipt then there is no evidence that the
alleged store even sold him the goods.

And of course, he just wants to forget it.

Which is what the shysters rely on -- people are too
"ashamed" to admit that they have been conned.

Same story as at that elderly housing complex where you
said many of the residents had been conned into paying
for totally uncessary antenna installations at completely
exorbitant prices.
