The presentation is aimed at the elderly (especially those living independently & alone) their carers and aged care staff. It shows how to identify some of the treacherous scams that are targeting senior members of our community, how to avoid scams and what to do if they or someone they know is scammed.
Protect Your Elderly Parents From Falling for Fraud
Who Scammers Target
According to a 2009 study by MetLife’s Mature Market Institute, seniors lose approximately $2.6 billion each year due to financial fraud.
People older than 50 possess characteristics that make them easy targets for financial abuse such as expecting honesty in the marketplace. It is important to educate your parents about the untruthful people behind these operations.
Signs of Fraud
Some signs that your elderly parent may be a prime target for fraud include 20 or more unknown telephone callers per day. The scammers know that a majority of the senior citizen generation rely heavily on their landlines, and will not hang up the phone as quickly as your generation.
A few Popular Telephone Scams to Look out for
If your parents are more receptive to phone calls, there is a good chance they are likely to receive junk mail letters from the same scammers.
Credit Card Company Call
This call includes an impersonator who says he’s from the credit card company and can identify the last four digits of the senior’s account number. The scammer has probably already copied the account number.
He states he is checking on a potential fraudulent purchase and he needs the senior to state the three- digit verification code on the back of the credit card. The senior should hang the phone up and immediately call their credit card company where they will likely figure out the first call was a scam.
Grandparents Scheme
When the senior answers the phone, a childish voice responds somewhere along the lines with, “Hey Grandma, do you know who this is? I’m in trouble and I need your help. Please do not tell my parents.” The grandparent should know to never immediately identify herself and the caller will give up if the grandparent challenges the caller.
Social Security Fraud
This scam involves thieves trying to steal personal information and calling the Social Security Administration and asking them to change the location to send the payment to the scammers’ bank accounts. You should make sure your elderly parents know to be aware of any request of personal information and to call the SSA whenever they suspect fraud.
Most of the victims do not report to the police of being stalked because they feel ashamed of it, fear of repercussion, and their cause may not be supported by the society in which they live says Attorney Miya Griggs. The crime of Stalking will only get addressed if people from all walk come forward to address the issue. Rather, people must encourage the victim that he should not be afraid of it, and they are with him.
This one occurred after Ken placed a classified ad. If you wire the money, they will never send the shipper, and you will be out the $2,400. Never give anyone extra money in return. Ken emailed this person back and forth to get as much information as possible. This was the first reply:

We are living in the 21st century, where honesty is valued for our own purpose and yet shunned and avoid at the same time. We expect that people should be honest and fair in their dealings with us yet we watch and appraise television shows and movies that openly promote and encourage deceitfulness and lying.
My husband and i got Married last year and we have been living happily for a while. We used to be free with everything and never kept any secret from each other until recently everything changed when he got a new Job in NewYork 2 months ago.He has been avoiding my calls and told me he is working,i got suspicious when i saw a comment of a woman on his Facebook Picture and the way he replied her. I asked my husband about it and he told me that she is co-worker in his organization,We had a big argument and he has not been picking my calls,this went on for long until one day i decided to notify my friend about this and that was how she introduced me to Mr James(Worldcyberhacker@gmail.com) a Private Investigator who help her when she was having issues with her Husband. I never believed he could do it but until i gave him my husbands Mobile phone number. He proved to me by hacking into my husbands phone. where i found so many evidence and proof in his Text messages, Emails and pictures that my husband has an affairs with another woman. I have sent all the evidence to my lawyer.I just want to thank Mr James(Worldcyberhackers@gmail.com) via email because i have all the evidence against my Husband in court.
My wife was so smooth at hiding her infidelity and I had no proof for months, I saw a recommendation about a Private investigator and decided to give him a try.. the result was incredible because all my cheating wife’s text messages, whatsapp, facebook and even phone calls conversations was linked directly to my cellphone.

A Labour of Love by Shreeradha Mishra
Internship Period: May 25th, 2015 to June 30th, 2015
The twenty odd pages that follow are the product of the title above, which says – “A Labour of Love”. The stories are an outcome of my observations on the field through the lens of the legal system and the pyscho-social impacts on the child survivors of sexual violence and their families, during a six week long internship at HAQ: Centre for Child Rights. The experience has been emotionally exhausting and a reminder of the fact that we all live in a bubble at some point of time in our lives.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
