FBI Presentation on Senior Fraud

Please join us for a special 4-part series of FBI presentations being presented in partnership with the Holland Center. The first presentation will focus on Senior Fraud cases and steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from fraudulent schemes. Senior fraud takes many forms as criminals find ways to take advantage of this vulnerable and growing population.

Seniors are a particularly vulnerable victim group and are often specifically targeted for financial fraud crimes. Seniors are often more polite and trusting, have difficulty saying no, may be lonely or spend a great deal of time alone, may have diminished physical or mental capacity, are less likely to report the crime out of shame, and are often financially stable and own their homes.

According to the FBI's Internet Crimes Complaint Center (IC3.gov) elder fraud report, Arizona ranked 10th in the nation for the most elder fraud victims with 3,175 and 8th for the most money lost reporting $54,441,279 in losses for 2021. This information is from people over 60 years old. With better awareness of what to watch out for, the better you can protect yourself and your loved ones.
