In our previous entry, we discussed how elders are often the targets of financial fraud. But is there a typical source dealing out these harsh crimes? In truth, these acts can come from a range of sources.
Another disappointing possible contributor to this type of fraud are financial professionals. Having an office and a company behind them doesn’t always mean their actions are on the up and up. It boils down to ethics here. Like in the first example, there is a bit of both social and business ethics that are expected to be upheld. But again, this isn’t always the case.
But, it may not always be a family member or financial institution that takes advantage of elders. There are a number of caregiving services carried out by third parties also expected to operate in good faith. But even those who are being paid to do so might get greedy if their ethics are flexible.
