Remaining socially connected is critical to protecting seniors from financial abuse:
An outreach campaign is being launched on June 15 in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, to share information on how to prevent the financial abuse of seniors. The Financial and Consumer Services Commission’s (FCNB) campaign is particularly appropriate now when many seniors are physically distancing to protect their health.
“Through our work with seniors’ groups and with other regulators, we know that when seniors are isolated it increases their vulnerability to financial exploitation and fraud,” said Deb Gillis, Senior Legal Counsel with FCNB. “There are safe ways to remain connected with older family members, friends and neighbours.”
