According to the FBI, older Americans are targeted as victims of fraud because they are less likely to report a fraud, more likely to have a “nest egg” or excellent credit, can appear more trusting due to the way their generations were raised and can make poor witnesses due to memory loss.

To reserve a spot in the seminar or for additional information, call (708) 403-4222.
