Join us for an important discussion about money
mule scams. “Money mules” are individuals who receive and move
money that came from victims of fraud. Some money mules know they
are participating in a crime, but others are not aware that they
are assisting in a crime.
Attendees will learn the basics about money mule scams, including
examples of these scams, tips for prevention and identification,
how individuals can seek help, and available consumer education
materials.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) will provide an overview of these
scams and share their work to identify and address money mule
activities.
The National Center on Law and Elder Rights (NCLER) and Indiana
Legal Services will share tips elder justice advocates can use to
assist individuals with a trauma-informed approach and examples
of assistance provided to older adults impacted by this
scam.
Additionally, attendees will learn about the ACL-funded Elder
Justice Resource Centers hosting this webinar, the aging network
professionals they support, and how to contact them for
applicable assistance.
