I wanted to add my experience with my father-in-law, he had dementia and passed away recently.

He was hit by so many scam artists, through the mail, phone, and to his house.

We involved the local DA's office and they were very helpful of the steps that we needed to take to keep him safe.

He was not very happy about this. Being very independent his entire life, he was not interested in what we had to say about this. Fortunatately, my husband was a signer on the bank account, and we watched it on the internet from home. When we say the patterns of money, thousands of dollars going out of the country. We had to take more drastic action.

Not only did we have to make his money safe. These individuals were going to his house, and we were fearing for his safety!

The local elder abuse was very helpful with suggestions. We never thought things were that bad!
