FREE Webinar: Detecting & Preventing Fraud Against Older People
Fraud has reached a crisis level in NH. In 2023 the NH Attorney General’s Office of Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation Unit, doubled the size of their team (adding three new employees) to address this issue that is growing at an alarming rate.
Granite Staters rank 25th in the country for fraud and reported losses exceed $27.5M. We need to ensure Granite Staters know how to protect themselves and their loved ones from fraud AND ensure people who have been victims of fraud know how and why to report it and get the support they need.
