Financial scams affecting older adults have proliferated in the past decade, causing massive financial loss and an untold emotional toll on older Americans. In this session, attendees will learn from a panel about common financial scams committed against older adults, the federal response to those crimes, and assistance for federal crime victims. Federal and state partnerships (e.g., Task Forces, working groups) that have resulted in effective enforcement actions will be described by a panel engaged in such actions.
