Elder Financial Exploitation Prevention Training
Train-the-Trainer Seminar (Virtual and In-Person Options Available!)
Elder financial exploitation is the fastest-growing form of elder abuse today and it is a crime that deprives older adults of their resources and their independence. According to the 2022 Internet Crime Complaint Center’s 2022 Elder Fraud Report, more than 88,000 people over the age of 60 reported losing a combined $3.1 billion in elder financial scams.
The VBA is partnering with representatives from the US Attorney’s Office, Adult Protective Services, local and federal law enforcement, and the American Bankers Association to develop a seminar for anyone responsible for implementing training on spotting and reporting potential elder financial exploitation.
