The Stop Scams NY Conference is a premier in-person event, presented by the Upstate Elder Abuse Center (UpEAC) at Lifespan, focused on the growing threat of scams targeting older adults. While anyone can be deceived, this population experiences the highest financial losses and often suffers in silence. This year, we’ll explore the psychology behind scams—how trust is exploited, why even savvy individuals fall victim, and what builds lasting resilience. Join us to expand your understanding and refine your approach to intervention and prevention.
