Senior In Home Care, San Diego, CA – Initiate a Fraud Alert: (6)

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Jessica Perez

Senior inhome care, san diego, ca – Initiate a Fraud Alert if Your Senior has been Defrauded

6. Initiate a Fraud Alert.

The next step is to place a fraud alert on your senior’s credit file as well as review the credit report. This will prevent a thief from opening any more accounts in the older adult’s name. You should contact the three major credit bureaus. If you place a fraud alert with one credit bureau, that credit bureau is required by law to contact the other two bureaus. The other bureaus will include the fraud alert in their reports. However, to ensure that the alert is included in the credit file as quickly as possible, you should contact all three credit bureaus immediately.

Senior In Home Care, San Diego, CA – Telephone – Fraudsters (8)

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Jessica Perez

Senior inhome care, san diego, ca -Telephone Fraudster

While many adults are replacing land lines with cell phones, older adults often retain their home phone, which offers fraudsters another avenue into an older adult’s life. Remind seniors not to respond to offers or provide personal information on calls that they have not initiated.

Now is the time to sit down with your senior loved one and talk about scammers. If you and your senior live in different cities, it’s a good idea to contact other relatives, friends and neighbors, or a Home Instead CAREGiver^SM who could periodically check on your loved one. Don’t delay in contacting local law enforcement if you think someone has defrauded your senior or might be trying to do so.
