Elderly Mom Gets Ripped Off By Donation Solicitors

Daughter of elderly mother (EM) called in a bit of a panic. She had just found out that her 80 year old mother, living alone in another state, had been giving thousands and thousands of dollars to a campaign. This was done with recurring donations she had unwittingly signed up for on her cell phone. EM had no idea of what she had given every day for months.

Her concerned daughter (CD) had looked at the statements from the financial advisors her mom had chosen without CD’s knowledge and was horrified. EM had funds, but not enough to take care of her for a lifetime if she kept giving it away. CD had to stop this cash drain.
