Scammers are evolving — and so are the ways older adults in long-term care settings are targeted.

From fake text messages and online scams to AI-generated phone calls, financial exploitation and digital fraud can place nursing home and assisted living residents at particular risk due to isolation, dependence on others, and increased vulnerability to manipulation.

Join the South Carolina Long Term Care Ombudsman Program and the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs for a World Elder Abuse Awareness Day webinar focused on recognizing modern scams targeting long-term care residents, identifying warning signs of exploitation, and understanding how advocacy and consumer protection work together to help safeguard vulnerable adults.

Participants will learn practical prevention strategies, reporting resources, and ways families, staff, and advocates can help protect residents in an increasingly digital world.

Los estafadores están evolucionando, al igual que las formas en que se dirigen a los adultos mayores en entornos de cuidado a largo plazo.

Desde mensajes de texto falsos y estafas en línea hasta llamadas telefónicas generadas por la IA, la explotación financiera y el fraude digital pueden poner en particular riesgo a los residentes de ancianos y residentes asistidos debido al aislamiento, la dependencia de otros y la mayor vulnerabilidad a la manipulación.

Únete al Programa de Ombudsman de Carolina del Sur y el Departamento de Asuntos del Consumidor de Carolina del sur para un seminario web del Día Mundial de Concienciación sobre el Abuso de Ancianos centrado en reconocer las estafas modernas dirigidas a residentes de cuidado de largo plazo, la identificación de signos de advertencia de explotación, y la comprensión de cómo la defensa y la protección del consumidor trabajan juntos para ayudar Proteger a los adultos vulnerables.

Los participantes aprenderán estrategias prácticas de prevención, recursos de presentación de informes, y formas en que las familias, el personal y los defensores pueden ayudar a proteger a los residentes en un mundo cada vez más digital.

Visita https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/NUjODMXdTbGJ5hGSWnCalg #/registration para registrarte para la formación.
