Of course. Why wouldn't a con artist go after a group that has already self-selected for gullibility?
It's scamming on easy mode
More importantly than being gullible, they often have substantial money and property.
It's hard to see how they still manage to have much money after all the grifters have been picking their pockets.
A lot of these folks have passive income streams that make falling for a four or five digit scam incidental to their way of life.
