Help for Seniors

Who to call if you think you're being scammed

With a keen awareness of the unique vulnerabilities that seniors face, especially in the context of fraud and economic crimes, the DA is committed to ensuring their protection and well-being. This dedication is reflected in the DA's proactive approach to addressing crimes against seniors, prioritizing their cases, and providing robust support and resources to prevent and combat fraudulent activities targeting this esteemed demographic.
