520 _a"The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) defines elder financial exploitation as 'the illegal or improper use of an elder's funds, property or assets.' According to Paul Greenwood, the lead prosecutor on senior abuse cases in San Diego County, California, financial abuse takes many forms, including credit card fraud, real estate scams, identity theft and burglary. And reports of elder financial exploitation, experts say, are on the rise." (STATE NEWS) This article reveals that "as many as 5 million elderly Americans are victims of financial exploitation each year" and reports that "states are beginning to recognize this growing trend and are working to stop the abuse."
