How Do Con Artists Target Senior Investors?
Con artists use many tactics to gain the trust of senior investors.
Here are just a few ways con artists might try to target senior investors in a Ponzi scheme:
- By claiming to be a “senior specialist” or some other made-up designation
- By preying on senior communities, churches, recreation centers, etc.
- By offering tempting “get rich quick” investments as an alternative to retirement accounts
- By taking advantage of vulnerable elderly investors who struggle with dementia and other health conditions
