Carestation Blog - Resources For Caregivers
While scam artists are active all year round, the holidays are an especially unsafe time.
According to the National Crime Prevention Council, seniors fall prey to fraud for a variety of reasons. They are generally more accessible by telephone and mail; are trusting and willing to listen; typically have limited experience with investments; and are deeply concerned with maintaining finances to last them throughout their lives. Furthermore, many older people are complacent or forgetful of details, and they may be embarrassed to admit a scam artist has drawn them in.
