| Annotation | Fraud targeted at elder and dependent adults is largely committed by four different groups of perpetrators, each targeting its own unique assortment of crimes at vulnerable victims. The purpose of this article is to profile these four offender groups, identify the various crimes being committed, and provide some preventative tips and investigative tools to combat this growing area of fraud. Offender group profiles are compiled from summaries of actual cases prosecuted by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office in California. (KJ/RH). |
