Senior Savings Scams

Recently, the Los Angeles County District Attorney issued a statement regarding senior financial elder abuse scams. Specifically, the District Attorney reported that nearly 1 in 5 elders in Los Angeles County will be at the wrong end of financial fraud.

Not the least of these financial fraud cases is directly related to seniors’ savings accounts. There are numerous types of scams, but some of the scams highlighted in the article are: health treatment and/or weight-loss solutions, fraudulent charities seeking donations, bad investment opportunities, and prize-claiming.

Don’t get caught in a trap. Double-check the sources regarding any inquiry that would require giving the potential perpetrator money or access to your accounts. A detrimental scam can be right around the corner for anyone, and seniors are certainly not exempt from that fact.
