The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office is warning elderly residents to be wary of people who offer to buy their home for much less than it is worth to take advantage of those who may not know their home’s value.

Senior citizens have reported receiving mailers that offer to purchase their home, even when their house is not listed on the market, according to prosecutors.
