Preventing Scams on Seniors Act – South Florida Elder, Senior and Retirement Financial Abuse and Exploitation Attorney

Preventing Scams on Seniors Act:

A recently introduced House bill would require certain financial institutions to help prevent fraud against senior citizens. Called the Preventing Affinity Scams on Seniors Act, HR 6305 targets so-called such schemes, in which a person trusted by an older American uses the relationship to defraud the individual. Under the bill, insured banks, thrifts and credit unions would be required to offer their senior citizen clients a service that would halt and investigate suspicious transactions and to report identified affinity scams to law enforcement.
