“World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15th and certainly the schemes of financial and investment fraudsters are forms of elder abuse,” Julie Govert Walter, Executive Director of the North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging, said.

“Older Americans are the top targets for fraud schemes that happen throughout our country and right here in the Kansas heartland. The Kansas Securities Commissioner’s staff are real experts–they’ll provide the latest information about financial and investment fraud happening here in Kansas,  what you need to know to protect yourself and loved ones–and will answer your questions,” Walter said.
