Because if these rich can get scammed, your lovely retired grandparents/parents can get scammed too, and have no way of making that money back. They might literally have their lives ended early by scammed reducing their quality of living.
Rich =/= evil

when they’re rich beyond a certain extent, they must be evil, because the way to amass such wealth would not be through honest labour. But otherwise I take your point

Even if it’s true that the largest wealthy are only amassed through evil and dishonest deeds, it is also true that aome people come into their wealth via inheritance, and some genuinely have no idea what their relatives did to produce that generous inheritance.
Therefore at least some inheritors of great wealth are not evil.
Marxism is a valuable method of analysing the world but it should be used with added nuance - in conjunction with other philosophies for instance.
