AG Nessel is urging seniors and their families to be vigilant against fraudsters by learning how to recognize a scam and highlighting the work of Michigan’s Elder Abuse Task Force. Most scams have common characteristics. By being aware of the warning signs, Michiganders can be alert to their key features and avoid becoming victims.

“Older adults are particularly vulnerable to fraud and exploitation. It’s imperative that seniors and their families recognize the warning signs of scams and abuse. Our Consumer Protection Team and Elder Abuse Task Force have resources available to help Michiganders stay a step ahead of bad actors. I encourage everyone to learn how to better protect themselves and those they love.” – AG Nessel
