R.O.S.E. Resources/Outreach to Safeguard the Elderly

The older adults are often targets of scammers looking to take their hard earned money. In 2022 in the United States, the 60+ population reported losing over $3.1 billion to scammers. The Arizona 60+ population reported losses of over $82 million - this has doubled in just one year! We are an Arizona 501(c)(3) working to prevent the financial exploitation and defrauding of the older adults through advocacy and education. R.O.S.E. was founded to lead the effort in delivering effective and concise educational programs to the older adults (and their families) so that they will be aware of the types of scams that are prevalent and dangerous to this population and what they can do to avoid becoming a victim. R.O.S.E. seeks to create change by educating and providing awareness of financial scams that typically target the older/elderly population, with a focus on those ago 60 and over. We have seen a drastic increase in the number of victims over the age of 60 and monetary loss due to the financial scams and our goal is to reduce the number of victims and monetary loss.
