Elder Fraud at First United Methodist Church in Anchorage, AK on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
Join the Alaskan Prospectors Society for an important and practical presentation on Elder Fraud with Pearson Richards, Elder Fraud Investigator with the Alaska Division of Public Advocacy (Alaska Federal Government). Elder financial fraud and scams targeting seniors are on the rise across Alaska and the nation. Pearson’s work focuses specifically on protecting vulnerable older adults from exploitation, identity theft, romance scams, investment fraud, and other predatory schemes. In this session, Pearson will: * Share real-world examples of major elder fraud cases investigated in Alaska (including a compelling FBI video case that aired on KTUU) * Explain how these scams typically work and the red flags to watch for * Provide practical, actionable steps you and your family can take to recognize, report, and prevent elder fraud * Offer tips on how to protect seniors in your life — whether they’re parents, grandparents, neighbors, or friends This is a highly relevant topic for anyone who has aging family members, works with seniors, or simply wants to stay informed and vigilant in today’s increasingly sophisticated scam environment. You’ll leave with valuable knowledge, prevention strategies, and resources to help safeguard Alaska’s elders.
