Is Technology Enabling Elder Financial Exploitation? Are you concerned about the safety of elders in your community, especially regarding financial security? In this video, we discuss how technology impacts elder financial safety and what steps can be taken to prevent exploitation. We’ll explain how scammers use phones, emails, social media, and fake websites to target elders remotely, often pretending to be trusted institutions or officials. You’ll learn about common scam tactics, including fake messages and online ads designed to deceive elders into sharing personal information or money.

African American elders face a higher risk of falling victim to these scams, with studies showing they are four to eight times more likely to experience financial exploitation than other groups. Vulnerabilities such as limited digital literacy, social isolation, or health issues can increase their susceptibility. While technology can help elders stay connected, it also opens doors for scammers, making education and awareness essential.

We’ll cover legal protections available, including laws that require financial institutions to report suspicious activity and tools like powers of attorney and trusts that can help safeguard assets. Community programs and family involvement play a vital role in teaching digital safety and encouraging verification of calls and messages. By understanding how scams operate and implementing proactive safety measures, we can help elders protect their finances and maintain peace of mind.
