Scam Jam: Prevention, Protection & Prosecution

Focusing on the Safety of Older Adults Through Adult Protective Services

Join us for Scam Jam 2025, an annual event dedicated to fraud prevention and the protection of older adults. This year's event is designed to educate, empower and engage our community in the fight against elder abuse.

• Arrive early and explore our resource fair filled with exhibitors from local government agencies and non-profit organizations dedicated to fraud prevention and elder protection.
• Learn from Paul Greenwood, LLB, JD, a retired deputy district attorney with over 25 years of experience in elder abuse prosecution. Greenwood has been recognized for his pioneering efforts in seeking justice for older adults and has prosecuted over 750 felony cases of elder abuse. He now shares his expertise through consulting and training nationwide.
• Watch HOAP: Heroes of Adult Protection, a groundbreaking docuseries and feature-length film that showcases the resilience of abuse victims and the dedicated efforts of Adult Protective Services (APS) employees and community members working together to protect vulnerable adults. This film, produced by The Clowder Group in collaboration with the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA), aims to create national policy change and raise community awareness through powerful stories of victim resiliency and the army of people working to protect those who cannot always protect themselves.
• Hear a panel discussion featuring local police, APS case workers and professionals from the Financial Exploitation Task Force. This session will provide valuable insights into the collaborative efforts required to combat elder abuse and support victims.
• Enjoy a complimentary lunch while networking with fellow attendees and experts in the field. 

Scam Jam 2025 is a unique opportunity to learn from experts, connect with community resources and contribute to the safety and well-being of older adults. Don't miss this chance to be part of a movement that strives for national policy change and increased community awareness.

Scam Jam 2025 is in collaboration with Fairfax County Silver Shield Anti-Scam Campaign, Fairfax County Department of Family Services, Northern Virginia Community College, Northern Virginia Community College Police Department and The Clowder Group.
