Top 10 Scams Targeting Seniors Financial scams targeting seniors have become so prevalent that they’re now considered
“the crime of the 21st century.”
Why? Because seniors are thought to have a significant amount of money sitting in their
accounts.
Financial scams also often go unreported or can be difficult to prosecute, so they’re
considered a “low-risk” crime. However, they're devastating to many older adults and can
leave them in a very vulnerable position with little time to recoup their losses.
It’s not just wealthy seniors who are targeted. Low-income older adults are also at risk of
financial abuse.
And it's not always strangers who perpetrate these crimes. Over 90% of all reported elder
abuse is committed by an older person’s own family members, most often their adult
children, followed by grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and others.
1. Health Care/Medicare/Health Insurance Fraud
2. Counterfeit Prescription Drugs
3. Funeral & Cemetery Scams
4. Fraudulent Anti-Aging Products
5. Telemarketing
6. Internet Fraud
7. Investment Schemes
8. Homeowner/Reverse Mortgage Scams
9. Sweepstakes & Lottery Scams
10. The Grandparent Scam
If you suspect you’ve been the victim of a scam…
Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to talk about it with someone you trust. You are not
alone, and there are people who can help. Doing nothing could only make it worse. Keep
handy the phone numbers and resources you can turn to, including the local police, your
bank (if money has been taken from your accounts), and Adult Protective Services. To
obtain the contact information for Adult Protective Services in your area, call the
Eldercare Locator, a government sponsored national resource line, at: 1-800-677-1116, or
visit their website at: www.eldercare.gov.

Thank You
Thank you everyone for all your caring thoughts,
cards and especially all of those who have helped
in many ways in this time of sorrow.
Cathy Mullison
We would like to thank everyone for their prayers,
support, phone calls, cards, delivery of food and
helping with errands following Jeff’s heart attack
on January 14. As many of you know, I was out of
town when he was stricken. I am convinced that
the quick and decisive action taken by Nancy Roy
and Linda and Lowell Hile to call 911 saved his life.
We are thankful that we live in a community where
neighbors take care of neighbors. We truly are a
“park with a heart”.
Sincerely, Jeff Hunt and Lori Johnsen
Thank you to the following residents that helped
make the Pancake Breakfast a success:
Jim & Joyce Middleton, John & Jeanine Miller,
Bruce & Marge Love and a great clean-up crew.
Thanks, Lee & Nancy Emery
We would like to thank the community and all the
individuals who expressed their concerns and well
wishes for Hacy’s mother during her
hospitalization. We are happy to say that she has
been transferred to a rehabilitation facility in Sun
City Center close to her home.
Thanks again, Hacy & Joyce Wright
The 2015 Super Bowl Party was a huge success
with 40 residents attending. Besides watching the
game, we ate delicious chili, potato soup,
homemade snacks, and dessert. Prizes were won
by Hacy Wright, Herman Biba, and Barb Dickerson.
We want to thank Hacy and Joyce Wright for doing
the decorating and assisting in general. Thanks to
Karen Wilson and Paul Rouble for their help with
setting up. Many others assisted in the set-up and
cleaning. Thanks to all for the help and the food.
