Elders are
extremely vulnerable to the many cleverly designed domestic and
cross-border mass-marketing fraud scams that are promoted via the
internet, U.S. mails and telemarketing. These schemes result in the
would-be thieves chasing more than $13 billion in assets held by
America's senior citizens. Our seniors are more likely to live alone
and lack the adequate supervision of care-givers. They are, as a
class, most gullible and susceptible to mass-marketing fraud scams.
This program
will highlight the following issues:
- Trends in on-going mass marketing frauds which target
the elderly;
- Initiatives to derail these predatory schemes and their
prosecution;
- Investigative techniques to uncover these schemes;
- A special look at Jamaican telemarketing frauds that
target the elderly and its relationship to criminal enterprises
involved in drug and human trafficking, child prostitution and
terrorism.
