Financial exploitation and scams aimed at older adults result in the loss of billions of dollars every year. These crimes often go unreported because victims are scared, embarrassed, or don’t know who to call. The U.S. Department of Justice National Elder Fraud Hotline, managed by the Office for Victims of Crime, provides services to adults age 60 and older who experience fraud and exploitation to help them report the crime and access appropriate resources. This webinar from the National Adult Protective Services Association’s Regional Representatives Advisory Board will offer an overview of the hotline and answer frequently asked questions about the available services. Webinar Date: Thursday, December 10, 2020, 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET.
