According to statistics compiled by Phone Busters, in 2008 there were more than 17,000 victims of fraudulent scams in Canada, which added up to a total dollar loss of over $36 million. And as these numbers are based solely on reported cases, there are potentially countless more that have gone unreported. Financial abuse, as defined by the National Clearinghouse on 1002 Edmonton Trail NE Family Violence (1999), as “the misuse of an older adult’s money or belongings by a relative or a person in a position of trust,” it “includes all forms of manipulation or exploitation of someone else’s money”. 403.520.5244 Adult children are the most common offenders of elder financial (closed Mondays) abuse, as they are most likely to ones to be handling their parents’ financial affairs, or have either direct or indirect access to their money or belongings. Other avenues of financial crimes are frauds and scams, the difference is that the perpetrator does not know the victim. This type of abuse includes: lottery and prize scams, fake investment scams, home renovation fraud, and internet fraud, amongst many other types. Over fifty percent of people who have been affected by fraudulent telemarketing were over the age of 60, and accounted for 75 percent of those who had been defrauded more then 5000 dollars. There are ways to protect yourself: • Keeping in touch with others to prevent from becoming isolated. • Learn the signs of abuse. • Keep money in the bank (as opposed to in the home), and having pension or other cheques directly deposited into your account After over 90,000 muffins to prevent the money from being stolen. • Keep track of bank accounts and belongings, and have a neutral baked with love third party receive bank statements to watch for unusual activity.
