Elder Fraud
Elder fraud refers to financial scams and fraudulent activities specifically targeting older adults. These scams can include identity theft, investment fraud, lottery scams, fishing attacks, and more. They exploit the vulnerability or trust of elderly individuals to illegally obtain money or personal information.
Elder fraud is a growing concern as the elderly population increases and becomes more reliant on digital and financial services. Fraudsters often target older adults due to perceived vulnerability, potential isolation, and accumulated savings.
Protecting against elder fraud involves educating seniors about common scams, implementing robust security measures, and encouraging vigilance in financial transactions. Financial institutions and businesses must also enhance their fraud detection systems to identify and prevent attempts at exploiting older customers, helping ensure their safety as well as financial security.
