    Episode 33: Andre Lingham | Elder Fraud & Exploitation

    Episode 33: Andre Lingham | Elder Fraud & Exploitation

    Ep. 33 Highlights

    Topic: Elder Abuse & Exploitation

    Special Guest:  Andre Lingham

    Andre Lingham is the Founder & President of the Center for Elder Justice and Education.

    Andre and I have a conversation about the following:


    Education is Key: Understanding the tactics used in elder fraud and exploitation is crucial for prevention. Educating both elders and their caregivers about potential scams and red flags empowers them to recognize and avoid fraudulent activities.




    Awareness of Vulnerabilities: Elderly individuals are often targeted due to perceived vulnerabilities, such as isolation, cognitive decline, or financial stability. Being aware of these vulnerabilities and staying vigilant can help in detecting and preventing elder fraud and exploitation.




    Community Engagement is Vital: Combating elder fraud requires a community effort. Organizations like Andre's play a vital role in raising awareness, providing resources, and advocating for policies that protect the elderly. By coming together and sharing information, we can work towards a safer environment for our elder population.
