SENIOR CITIZEN FRAUD: How To Protect Yourself
"Why are the elderly such an attractive target for con artists?

* Many seniors have a "nest egg."
* They're less likely to report a fraud because they don't know where to go or they’re too embarrassed to talk about it.
* If they do report the crime, it's sometimes hard for them to remember exact details.
* Many of the products/services being hawked by con artists appeal to individuals of a certain age—i.e., anti-aging and other health care products, health care services, and investments related to retirement savings."
