Financial abuse of the elderly is a varied problem. The perpetrators can be strangers, friends or family members. Often abuse by strangers takes the form of online, mail or telephone scams, door to door sales fraud or even outright theft from property.

Financial Abuse By Friends, Family or Professional Caregivers

Even more heartbreaking then financial abuse by strangers, is when the perpetrators are family, friends or professional caregivers. A fast growing problem is that of undue influence, where someone close to a senior or other person with special needs takes advantage of changes in that person’s life in order manipulate and eventually steal from them.

Often a senior or other adult with special needs who loses a substantial portion of their money to abuse has no way of recovering that loss because they may not be able to return to work.  This scenario is extremely common and results in a substantial loss of independence as well of quality of life for the victim.
