Register for this webinar.

Grandparent scams play on the love grandparents share with their grandchildren. Scam perpetrators falsely state that a grandchild is in trouble with the law, sick, or injured and in need of an immediate transfer of a large sum of money to prevent dire harm to the grandchild. Scammers are becoming more audacious and even coming to the door of intended targets, and any grandparent could fall for this insidious scam.


In this webinar, aging services professionals will learn:

  • how to identify this fraud and empower grandparents to resist this scam,
  • how to partner with law enforcement to go after scammers, and
  • how to support and enable those who have experienced this scam to recover from their losses and regain their agency.
