Elderly Falling Prey to 'Volunteer' Ruse (trick)
1a)what is the modus operandi(method of operating) of the con artist?
Their modus operandi is posing as a volunteer from welfare organisation on a project to spruce up the homes of these senior citizen .Doing this will lets the unsuspecting victim let them into their house.When they didn't pay attention to them they will steal their cash.
b)What are the Lion befrienders planning to do to ensure the old folk do not get conned again?
They will ensure the experience or full time staff to introduce to the new volunteer to the senior citizen to ensure they recognised who they are.
2)Do you like social work ?Why or Why not?
Yes but i dun like to do social work cause i think it is a waste of time in a way and i dun like to interact with others.It is not easy to be volunteer i think cause it not just about kind hearted but include patient and understanding and of course need to bear with their temper and must not think they are smelly or something like that.i like social work because when i seen in the TV show they every time volunteer help the senior citizen to do work they would be happy.When seeing them happy me myself also will get happy.Although i like to see them happy but i dun have patient with them and i dun like smelly places but if i got these component i will surely help them .To befriends with the senior citizen also an hard job because everyone is unique in their own way ,some are easy-going ,some are hot tempered some are arrogant ,some likes to tell story about the past ,some treat volunteer as their maid/servant ,so volunteer must goes into their life to find out what they likes ,what they don't like and also the food they eat,their medical condition and the hobby so as to entertain them to make them happy and tidy up the place for them .I think even the 'real' volunteer them self might not have all of these component.Being a volunteer also need true heart,if you think you want to do it just to finish a school project earning CIP hour or present it to a girl to let them think that your are a good man this is all crap,you are not fit to be a volunteer cause you do not have true heart true faith towards them.
Anyway if you want to be a volunteer and care for the elderly go to this website and contact the admin http://www.lionsbefrienders.org.sg/
