WEBINAR: Financial Exploitation: Frauds & Scams Targeting Older Adults with Andre Lingham

It is estimated that older adults are scammed out of $36 billion per year in financial exploitation. Such exploitation occurs whenever older adults are deprived of their property by improper means and commonly includes fraud, theft, or deceptive behavior. Often the perpetrator of this behavior is a family member, caregiver, or someone who has a relationship of trust with older adults. Increasingly, older adults are also targeted for exploitation by strangers using various types of scams and frauds. Case studies and interviews with victims are included in the presentation.

BWFA and special guest speaker Andre Lingham, Founder and President for the Center of Elder Justice and Education, invite you to an interactive discussion, “Financial Exploitation: Frauds & Scams Targeting Older Adults”.
