Elder Financial Abuse
An elderly Sacramento man received a solicitation from a telemarketer. The deal sounded good and the telemarketer seemed friendly, quoting a reasonable fee. The telemarketer asked for the elderly man's credit card number and told him the product would be shipped soon. The man willingly complied. It wasn't until months later that he realized thousands of dollars had been charged to his card without his permission. He learned he'd become the victim of fraud — a devastating type of elder financial abuse.
There are many different types of elder financial abuse. Each takes different forms and is perpetrated by different individuals and companies. Elder financial abuse may start with strangers posing as legitimate businessmen. It may continue with family members and those hired allegedly to provide care. Regardless of the type of elder abuse your loved one has experienced, Anthony J. Poidmore is well prepared to help you hold the actors accountable.
