Elder Fraud Summit Highlights Growing Problem in Montana: One Victims Story
The Montana Department of Justice held an Elder Fraud Summit to address the surging issue of elder fraud in the state, with one victim, Susan Bivens, losing her entire retirement savings of $240,000. Bivens fell for a sophisticated scam involving fake Amazon charges and a phony DEA agent, leading her to withdraw and send her money to a supposed secure Treasury locker. Despite the trauma, Bivens remains optimistic and serves as a fraud ambassador for AARP. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is now prioritizing these cases, aiming to prevent more victims through increased awareness and a dedicated investigator and prosecutor for elder justice.
