It also reveals successful strategies for combating that industry and the important contributions to that effort by concerned bankers, doctors, reporters and others in the private sector. The cases reveal an increasingly sophisticated global industry that targets each victim with a series of repeat "hits." This tactic-criminals call it "reloading"-sets the elder fraud industry apart from groups that defraud younger individuals. Twelve key age-related fraud vulnerabilities are illustrated in the cases. So, too, are the scammers' skills in mapping their target's unique combination of vulnerabilities and then tailoring their narratives to exploit each one. Most of the cases highlight actual victims, scam artists or fraud fighters. Their individual stories range from inspiring and sometimes comical to frustrating and deeply disturbing. Readers with aging parents, law enforcement officials, medical professionals, members of the financial industry and others who work with older adults will find it particularly useful."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Older people $x Crimes against $z United States. 650 0 $a Fraud $z United States. 650 0 $a Commercial crimes $z United States. 650 7 $a Commercial crimes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869469 650 7 $a Fraud. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933786 650 7 $a Older people $x Crimes against. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199098 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014254.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210701010748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3209346FE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
