Money Smarts for Older Adults – Preventing Financial Exploitation

Presented by Lake Sunapee Bank

Thursday, September 18 1:30pm

With more than 50 million Americans over the age of 62, older adults are prime targets for financial exploitation. Called the “crime of the 21st century”, financial exploitation has cost older adults at least $2.9 billion dollars. Awareness and prevention is the first step to stopping this epidemic. During this presentation you will learn important points to consider in planning for a more secure financial future, including how to guard against identity theft and other forms of financial exploitation, how to prepare financially for unexpected life events, and what to have ready in case of an emergency. Please call COA at 526-6368 to register.
