Why Senior Safe & Sound?
My widowed, elderly father fell victim to a lottery scam costing him more than $100,000 several years ago. That’s when I knew I had to act.
I founded this blog, Senior Safe & Sound, as a community service for others. It’s designed to promote education, prevention and protection surrounding financial elder abuse. May it help you spot and address financial elder abuse quickly. And may it help you avoid the heartache and loss my family experienced.
