Elder Fraud and Exploitation. Durham, San Diego, Sweetheart
Description
The elderly are often preyed upon by fraudsters. What may be most shocking is how such crimes tend to happen at the hands of those they know and trust. This episode of Scammed follows the stories of several elderly victims whose retirement savings were plundered by trusted fiduciaries, new romantic interests, and even their own children. We learn how it was not only their savings stolen from them, but their faith in others as well.
