In this episode, I speak with Cameron Huddleston, a financial expert specializing in protecting older adults from financial exploitation. Cameron explains the two primary types of financial abuse—scams from strangers and exploitation by people the victim knows—and discusses how quickly financial abuse can happen, particularly in caregiving situations. She offers practical advice for families transitioning a loved one into assisted living, such as removing financial documents, limiting access to money, and automating bill payments to reduce the risk of exploitation. We also talk about how to approach the sensitive topic of financial planning with aging parents, focusing on empowering them to remain in control while setting up safeguards like powers of attorney and estate planning documents. Cameron shares resources available on her website, including an emergency organizer and scam red flag sheet, along with information about her book Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk, which provides more tips on navigating these important conversations and protecting loved ones' finances.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we delve into the critical topic of safeguarding senior finances with Amy Walls from Thimbleberry Financial. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing signs of financial exploitation among seniors and offers practical advice on how adult children can approach their parents about financial matters. We stress the importance of maintaining open, empathetic, and proactive conversations to prevent financial abuse and ensure seniors' financial well-being.Amy starts by explaining the signs of financial exploitation, such as unexplained withdrawals, sudden changes in spending patterns, and alterations in legal documents. These warning signs might indicate someone is trying to gain control over a senior's assets. Isolation from family and friends, as well as the sudden appearance of new friends or caregivers with a strong interest in finances, are also red flags.Approaching the topic with parents can be challenging. Amy suggests starting these conversations early, even before there are signs of trouble. Regular check-ins can help normalize financial discussions and reduce anxiety. Empathy is key—approaching these conversations from a place of care and support rather than control. Setting clear agreements about when and how to get involved can prevent misunderstandings and ensure everyone is on the same page.For senior listeners, open communication with their adult children is crucial to prevent exploitation. Statistics show that a significant number of seniors experience financial victimization, and regular discussions can help identify and stop abuse early. Seniors should also ensure their wishes are clearly communicated to avoid misunderstandings and ensure their intentions are honored.Amy provides practical steps for both seniors and their adult children to make these conversations more effective. Organizing important documents, developing a financial plan, and using technology to monitor accounts and automate payments are essential measures. Regular reviews with or without a third party can keep everyone informed and prepared for any financial or health emergencies.As we wrap up, the emphasis is on the importance of technology and communication. Technology offers great tools for managing finances, and maintaining an open and ongoing dialogue is crucial for building trust and ensuring financial security. Amy encourages starting these conversations early and being empathetic and respectful throughout the process. For those needing assistance, financial advisors and lawyers can provide valuable support and mediation.

After 3.5 years and $250k spent with Grant & his organization, I realized that I had ignored all the signs in that environment that encouraged me to idolize Grant as a God, seek him for success, disconnect with those who don't align with him or me, chase money, deceive, & manipulate others to get what I want. I later found that Grant is being operated by the church of Scientology and after looking into that myself, it made sense why he treats people badly & why he teaches entrepreneurs to unethically scale their business.I have been publicly speaking about this consistently so that people can be aware of not only Grant, but ALL self serving entrepreneurs who prey on people's fears to manipulate them & teach them how to deceive others.

Financial Exploitation of Older Adults with Joyce Petrowski

Our golden generation, rich with wisdom and experience, unfortunately often finds itself in the crosshairs of deceitful schemes. In today's episode, we shine a spotlight on the tactics employed by scammers, share real-life anecdotes, and provide practical advice to help safeguard our beloved seniors.  Today's guest is Joyce Petrowski. Joyce started her professional career in the public accounting sector and is an accountant and tax preparer. As an avid volunteer and philanthropist, she shares her focus on the non-profit sector and co-founded a non-profit in 2014. Since leaving that non-profit in 2021, she saw a need to educate people, especially the older adult population about the financial scams and how to protect themselves and their hard earned assets. In August 2021, Joyce founded R.O.S.E. (Resources/Outreach to Safeguard the Elderly), with the mission to prevent financial exploitation and frauding older adults through advocacy and education. Show Notes: [1:16] - Joyce shares her background and the mission of her non-profit, R.O.S.E. [3:42] - R.O.S.E. provides education and resources for older adults so they are aware of how these scams are happening. [5:54] - When speaking and meeting with people, Joyce sees the hesitation in people coming forward with past experiences with scams.  [8:01] - It has been difficult for the general population, specifically the older generation, to keep up with the evolution of scams and red flags. [9:38] - The first sign that should raise some suspicion is unexpected contact. [12:07] - There is an option in your phone that can silence calls from unknown numbers so there is no accidentally answering scam calls. [15:03] - If you're not sure, talk to somebody else that you know and trust. Them asking questions might help you determine if it is a scam. [18:51] - Many older adults feel uncomfortable sharing their experiences with their children to avoid losing their independence. [21:18] - Scammers don't discriminate. They don't care about age, gender, or even how much money you have. [23:34] - It can be very confusing and overwhelming when considering the ways to deal with this problem. [26:00] - Joyce shares some of the things that scammers are looking for and why it can be easy for them to get a victim into an emotional state. [29:44] - Scams are very sophisticated now compared to just ten years ago. [31:45] - Everybody needs to be aware and have conversations about this with the older adults in their lives. [33:17] - Joyce has recently started a podcast called Let's Talk About Scams. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Talking to our aging parents about their finances can be a tough conversation. But there are ways to educate and protect our parents from being taken advantage of by scammers, charities, and other organizations without being seen as controlling or overstepping.  Today's guest is Cameron Huddleston. Cameron is an author, speaker, and award-winning financial journalist. She's the Director of Education and Content at Careful, the first service built to protect and monitor aging adults' daily finances. Cameron's work has appeared in a number of publications including Forbes and The Chicago Tribune. Show Notes: [1:09] - Cameron described the experience of caring for her mother with alzheimers. She had not had a conversation with her about her finances. [2:37] - Talking to your parents about scammers is a way to open the door to more conversation about finances. [5:13] - Warn your parents about red flags because there's no way you can keep them updated on every single scam. [6:29] - As we age, we all experience some level of cognitive decline. [7:38] - Get an idea of how they are doing now so that you will be more aware of changes. [8:56] - You're not trying to pry or be nosey. This is a series of conversations that open the door to communication about finances for the future. [10:00] - Older adults are more likely to be exploited by someone they know. [11:10] - Nothing has to happen right now except the beginnings of conversations. Cameron lists some things to have in order later. [13:07] - There are things you can do to help prevent a caretaker from taking advantage of your parents. [14:35] - There are some red flags to listen for in conversations with your aging parents and/or their caretaker. [15:43] - If you are concerned about your parent's credit or finances, you can have their credit frozen and you can monitor everything for safety. [16:58] - Your parents can also sign up for services while they are healthy and add you to the monitoring account for notifications. [18:39] - Cameron shares an experience with her own mother. She was a giving person but with her alzheimers, she wound up donating money frequently. [19:51] - How can you help them get the spending on charity donations under control? [22:21] - One piece of advice for parents is to let all calls go to voicemail and don't call the numbers they called from. [24:21] - Chris describes an unusual and suspicious new text scam. How can we warn parents about the things that are out of the norm? [27:00] - If you have a parent with dementia, these warnings won't always do much good. Leave notes and reminders for them. [28:26] - Cameron describes a situation with her mother and she realized that she was no longer safe to live alone. [31:09] - There are a lot of things that parents can have in place in writing while they are relatively young and healthy. [32:33] - Cameron has a lot of great resources on her website CameronHuddleston.com. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.
