Elder Fraud | Federal Bureau of Investigation

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
"Robbing victims of hard-earned savings and security, elder fraud schemes prey on victims’ trust and ruin lives. The Consumer Protection Branch is committed to stopping such schemes. The Branch is the Department of Justice’s leader in prosecuting elder fraud crimes, using all tools available to halt ongoing schemes and bring culpable persons to justice.

Specifically, the Branch coordinates the Department’s Transnational Elder Fraud Strike Force, working with six United States Attorneys’ Offices and law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute scams run by transnational criminal organizations, including:

Mass mailing
Telemarketing
Tech support scams
In all these efforts, the Branch is aided by its investigative partners, including the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Federal Trade Commission, and FinCEN. The Branch also leads efforts to prosecute those individuals and entities that offer criminally inadequate and fraudulent care to nursing home residents."...
