Fraud and scams can have serious and lasting effects on older adults, affecting their finances, emotional well-being, and sense of security. In a 2025 report to Congress, the Federal Trade Commission estimated that, after accounting for underreporting, older adults lost up to $81.5 billion to fraud in 2024. This webinar will highlight underlying factors and communication strategies that support recovery, rebuild trust, and help reduce the risk of repeat victimization. This webinar is co-hosted by the National Center on Elder Abuse, U.S. Department of Justice's Elder Justice Initiative, National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life, and National District Attorneys Association.
