The National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) Monthly Scam Advice Forum

Elder Fraud is considered fraudulent activity targeting individuals aged 60 or older.  Elder financial abuse is a type of elder abuse in which there is a misappropriation of financial resources or abusive use of financial control, in the context of a relationship where there is an expectation of trust, that causes harm to an older person. Many cases of elderly financial abuse fall under categories like wire fraud, tax crimes, identity theft, money laundering, or cyber scams, and may not be specifically categorized as elder fraud.
