Protect Residents from Telephone and Internet Scams

Posted on July 31, 2018 by Jodi Boyne

A new resource from LeadingAge will help you better protect your residents from falling victim to telephone and internet scams typically aimed at older people. 

Financial fraud targeting older people is a growing epidemic that costs them an estimated $2.9 billion annually. This estimate is likely low as older people often do not report fraud because they are too ashamed to admit they have been scammed, may not even know that they are victims or do not know how to report it. 

New guidance from LeadingAge helps you and your residents identify the most popular scams targeted at older adults, learn practical tips to avoid scams and know who to call to report scams. Download and share this free resource today!
