Protecting Older Adults from Financial Exploitation and Fraud
Older adults are often targeted by fraudsters due to factors such as accumulated wealth, property ownership, pensions and savings. They may also be more vulnerable during periods of bereavement, separation, long-term illness, social isolation or loneliness.
This webinar will explore the types of fraud and financial exploitation that are commonly affecting older people across Lancashire, including:
- - Courier fraud
- - Bank impersonation scams
- - Financial exploitation and abuse of position by known individuals
- - Romance and friendship fraud
- - Investment fraud and the techniques used by offenders
Participants will gain a greater understanding of how these scams operate, learn to recognise the warning signs and red flags, and explore practical steps that can be taken to protect individuals and communities from financial harm.
Join us to increase your awareness, strengthen preventative measures, and help create a safer Lancashire for older adults.
