Abstract: 

Frauds and scams have been part of the human landscape for time immemorial. There always has been and always will be a minority of people who are willing to cheat, defraud, and harm others to make a profit.

In this article, she offers concise information and recommendations to combat some of the more common financial improprieties and fraudulent schemes that have emerged during the digital age, especially the ones that impact the vulnerable elderly.
