Thank you all for tuning in to the AAPI Elder Abuse Steering Committee's #WEEAD campaign. Let's continue to be vigilant in our fight against elder abuse. To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors. - Tia Walker

Romance #scams increased among all ages in 2021, but those older than 70 years old reported highest losses, nearly $9k per case (per @ftc). #Giftcards are the most requested item from #scammers, but #cryptocurrency fraud is rising. #WEAAD2022
