On 6/15/2021, the FBI issued an article warning of elder abuse as well as a report from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. The article explains that older people are an attractive target for fraudsters and scammers as this demographic tends to have more financial stability - which makes them a target for criminals.

The FBI’s 2020 Elder Fraud Report runs 22 pages long and discusses crimes against the elderly.
