Protecting the elderly from fraud

September 18, 20241 min read

We all want to retire one day with the nest egg we have created, nurtured and worked very hard for.  We recently watched the movie "BEEHIVE". While the action packed thriller is more internal government network, the movie is kicked off by extreme elder financial abuse.  It is sickening!  It seems like something just on the big screen, but this happens EVERY DAY, to all ages, in all countries!  Older adults can be the target more often.  

According to the FBI, scam artists seek out older Americans because of the following:  

  • they have concentrated wealth

  • they are less likely to report fraud

  • they were raised to be polit and trusting

  • mental impairments may make it difficult for them to recognise financial schemes.

  • women living alone are twice as likely to fall victim to financial abuse or scams

Facing the facts, according to IC3.GOV report 2022.

 

Although elder abuse in many forms,financial abuse is the 3rd most common type of crime against seniors. 

What can we do for our older family members and friends?

Most importantly , Make sure they have a financial advisor !  We can help direct anyone to the many professionals we work with everyday!
