Age analysis of political donors reveals distinct patterns across groups and institutions. Standard donations concentrate among middle-aged and older individuals, with fewer donors in younger cohorts. Spamming PACs employ deceptive solicitation tactics akin to a 'Nigerian prince' strategy designed to elicit payments from recipients. Comparison of age distributions between donors to these spam PACs and ActBlue donors who gave to presidential campaigns shows a pronounced skew of spam PAC donors toward seniors. The donor profile for these spam PACs is therefore not typical of general political donors and indicates deliberate targeting of older adults.

For standard donations, ages tend towards middle age and older with some in between.
On the other hand, spamming PACs use the a Nigerian prince strategy.
What the data reveals is troubling: these spam PACs are part of a system engineered to target and extract money from seniors.
