1 Elder financial exploitation: Third party techniques. June 25th, 2018 Slidell, Louisiana
2 Presented by Paul Greenwood, Newly retired Deputy District Attorney, San Diego County, California
3 Watch for an explosion of elder financial abuse cases
4 The fight against senior scams Financial abuse is now officially a U.S. publichealth concern. Inside the movement to get it under control and what s slowing it down. 09/27/ :01 AM EDT The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention might be best known for its efforts to combat obesity, or Zika, or the H1N1 flu virus. But last year, it drew new attention to a hazard that doesn t sound like a disease at all. The hazard is senior financial abuse, meaning the theft of older people s resources by someone they trust. Alarmed by the growing cost of the problem and the lack of a clear strategy to combat it, the CDC included in a first-of-its-kind report a definition for what constitutes the financial exploitation of old people. It includes fraud, breach of personal trust, poor investment advice, or improper use of power of attorney.

34 But we did catch the next one
35 Mr. Greenwood: I am a retired catholic priest and former Army Chaplain. I was recently involved in a "fraud" by a gentleman who claimed to be an attorney for the Publishers Clearance House. I was sent a notice that I was the grand prize winner of $1,600, and that i must follow the directions given me in order to receive the prize. After many telephonic calls and assurances I was directed to first send a check of $41, which would cover all the federal and state taxes incurred. I envisioned the financial help I would be giving to a high school and church because of paying just a rather small sum for the full prize amount. How naive I was. After weeks of communication and my final attempt to finalize the deal, I realized that the check I was mailed was a fake and the phone number I tried calling was "no longer in operation". I lost half my life savings and probably will never recover the amount; but I would do anything to prevent this happening to anyone else. I would be happy to meet with you if at all possible.
36 The grandma scam...
37 Crooks who use mules or middle man
38
39
40 The IRS scam
41 The computer scam
42
43
44
45 So what is the best course of action?
46 Insist on making a police report
47 If mail was used in the scam, contact the US Postal Inspectors
48 Also try contacting the fraud department of the third party such as Apple, Moneygram, Western Union, Green Dot etc
49 Then contact FTC.. the scam may be part of bigger network
50 Then contact your nearest US Attorney s Office
51 The Elder Abuse Prevention & Prosecution Act 2017
52 Every Federal judicial district will have an assistant US Attorney serve as Elder Justice coordinator
53 The Act provides for training
54 on how to conduct investigations, address evidentiary issues, how to interact with victims
55 And the Act calls for data to be collected on elder abuse cases that have been prosecuted..
56 In the past 2 years federal prosecutors have been scoring some rare victories over these scammers
