Elder Bill Payment Services and Fraud Protection

Fraud perpetrated on the elderly is one of the biggest new trends nowadays. The scammers have found this demographic to be gullible, vulnerable and all too willing to help a stranger with a check.

As CPAs, we understand how hard it can be for middle-aged people to get their bills paid and navigate the myriad websites and other frustrations. So, imagine how an elderly parent would fare in this process? We know from first-hand experience that this can be huge problem. This might be the last vestiges of independence that they still retain. Unfortunately, the scammers are waiting for them.
