“The aging of America’s population is placing increasing numbers of seniors at risk of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of cognitive impairment, and that in turn makes them more vulnerable to elder financial exploitation.”
“One-in-five older Americans are victims of financial exploitation and each victim loses an average of $120,000. When vigilance is a two-sided effort, the results are overwhelmingly effective and a win for potential victims and financial institutions.”
“Estimates indicate that, within our 31 participating districts, the total monetary value of assets taken from seniors within the 12-month period may have ranged from a low of $352 million to a high of $1.5 billion.”
How I Can Help
As your dedicated fraud advisor, I will:
- Advise on how to stop ongoing financial exploitation of an elderly person.
- Assess the full scope of the fraud and advise on whether a recovery may be feasible.
- Contact law enforcement on your behalf to report the fraud and seek restitution.
- Weigh the costs and benefits of engaging private investigators, accountants, attorneys, and other experts.
- Develop a comprehensive, individualized plan to prevent future fraud.
Throughout this process, I will be your advisor, representative, and advocate. I will protect the confidentiality of the information you provide and share details only with your permission.
