Many older adults who grew up in the Great Depression were raised to be polite, trusting and accessible. Financial predators use these positive personal traits to gain an unfair advantage of their intended victims. As a consequence, older adults’ financial security and livelihood could be compromised. Understanding the psychology behind this risk can help professionals understand how to recognize vulnerabilities and identify resources to support and protect older adults against fraud. Join this webinar to learn more about the psychology of financial scams and how to protect older adults from falling victim to financial predators

Participants in this webinar will be able to:

  • Define the scope of the problem and its financial and emotional impact on older adults;
  • Understand the psychology of how scammers target and deceive their victims;
  • Summarize the most common scams in which older adults are impacted; and
  • Recognize signs that an older adult may have been victimized by a scam and learn how to support them to reduce their future risk.
