Protecting your parents: keeping the sharks at bay

The alarm bells over financial abuse of seniors have been sounded, and everyone is beginning to be aware of the problem. This article from http://www.money.cnn.com/ gives some excellent information on spotting what's going on and putting a stop to it. I like that this article also talks about seniors who receive inappropriate financial advice that is so wrong for them it might as well be illegal.

The article is American, but in everything but the details applies to us in Canada as well. Click here to read it. The attached photo by Alex Farnum is also from that article.
