1 in 6 Americans fall victim to fraud every year. Unfortunately, our elderly citizens
are those most likely to be scammed, oftentimes losing their entire life savings.

caretaker stealing the social security number of an elder in their care, con‑artists
share the same goal: taking advantage of a senior to steal their money or possessions.
