Older Americans lose $2.6 billion or more annually due to elder financial abuse and exploitation and it’s estimated 60 billion is lost annually due to Medicare Fraud. Unfortunately, it occurs in every demographic and can happen to anyone—a family member, a neighbor, even you. It is estimated that only one in five of these crimes are discovered. Scammers are using COVID-19 as an opportunity to exploit people. Education is the key to prevention. In this presentation, you will learn about COVID-19 Scams affecting Medicare Beneficiaries and financial fraud scams affecting older adults.
