I know quiet a few people who make money off of the Naivete and cognition of the elderly. They are mainly selling crappy products with huge fees. Then you have people you read about in the news who get the elderly to sign over tons of money somehow with "consent".
Since this is pretty common, am I sucker for thinking "morality" should be a barrier here. It's easier to sell something to someone with dementia than to a 30 year old coupon clipper data analyst.

I disagree. Till recently ripping off the elderly was off limits in terms of basic morality.
However, people have been:
1. Exposed to billions of dollars in wall street scams
2. Squeezed by the extreme wealth/wage inequality making them desperate to make money by any means.

But where do we draw the line between taking advantage and accounting for the unique challenges of elderly clientele?
Some elderly have loose pockets with some things, and tight purse strings with others. Aside from the contract work we do for businesses, we make a good stream of supplemental revenue at our store location removing viruses, setting up e-mail, or performing various other computer services that would seem very basic to most people of our generation. Many of our customers are elderly, and I suspect that half of what they are paying for is our patience, since their children and grandchildren don't always seem to have enough of it reserved for them.
We provide honest services, but it's easy to second-guess your own prices when your services are second nature to you. Sometimes we're reminded how fair our prices are. It's not rare for someone to come to us after getting scammed by Indian and Filipino telemarketers who pretend to be from Microsoft and end up taking them for $500 to a $1,000. These elderly, many of whom may be on the verge of senility, suffer when they don't deal with people like us. The extra time we spend dealing with them more than justifies the price.
