Joel Stephens with comparitech recently reached out to Sheriff Potter with a link of how to Avoid and Detect Elder Fraud.


He noted in his email that "Fraud victims over 50 account for over 57% of all fraud and many members of your community are likely to have been or will be affected by elder fraud."


With that information he provided a link to the elder fraud article on the comparitech website. I will post it here and also place it in the link section of the BESO Smart Phone App.

If you go to the home page of the compaitech website, https://goo.gl/HRSUh7 and type "fraud" in the search box you will find articles on ways to avoid all types of fraud. The elder fraud article comes up in that search.


Thank you Mr. Stephens for this helpful information.
