Consumer Reports explains that “financial elder abuse, in which a senior citizen is coerced, bullied, or tricked into relinquishing hard-earned assets, is the most common form of elder abuse and the fastest growing.” AARP reports that the average loss by a victim of financial exploitation is $120,000. More than 3,630 cases of elder exploitation were reported across Ohio in the fiscal year 2018, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services data. https://www.southwestohiolaw.com/post/helping-seniors-avoid-scams-and-financial-elder-abuse
