At Curated Transitions, we’re always aiming to equip our clients with organization and decluttering tools/exercises. There’s something we’ve been meaning to talk about which is equally as important: how to protect your seniors from fraud, scams, and exploitation.

Unfortunately, many scammers and exploiters out there specifically target seniors, considering the many years of  hard-earned savings in their bank accounts. They can either be complete strangers, or people you/your senior has met.
