Sheriff Rob Streck

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office regional dispatch center took over 2400 calls last year involving financial scams. Over half of scam victims are over 70 years old. Financial scams are also called “Senior Scams.” There is a difference between Immoral and Illegal scams. About 2/3 of elder fraud cases fall outside of being considered criminal activity. Annually there are over #39 billion in losses.
