Financial Fraud: The Elder Trap!
Who are those most likely to exploit the financial resources of the elderly, those who are the most vulnerable? And who will be exploited? Is it your mother, father, your sibling or your friend or neighbor? What can you do about it? What are some red flags that family members and others can heed when fraud is suspected? With baby boomers aging, the U.S., elders are quickly becoming a significant portion of the population.

Expert witness and Forensic Questioned Document Examiner, M. Patricia Fisher along with Licensed Private Investigator and Certified Fraud Examiner Kelly Paxton, both of whom specialize in Elder Fraud, will discuss the rapid growth of elder financial exploitation, key identifiers and key recommendations to protect your loved one’s financial assets.
