Join us for this special presentation

with Zaheen Khan, Financial Presented by Education Coordinator Fibre CU. They’ll share information on how to recognize common types of scams (telephone, internet, investment) and set safeguards to prevent financial exploitation.

Older adults are increasingly becoming targets for fraud and financial exploitation. They are thought to have plenty of money for retirement, may be lonely from losing a spouse, and are trusting and polite. Many people are ashamed to admit they might have been a target from a stranger, or someone they know, and these crimes go unreported. However, financial elder abuse is the most common type of abuse for older adults. According to the U.S. Consumer Financial Protections Bureau, reports of suspicious financial activity involving older adults totals upward of $35 billion each year and continues to grow.
