Watching a parent, grandparent, or loved one become the victim of a scam can be frightening, frustrating, and overwhelming. This compassionate, practical guide was created to help families understand what is happening, approach their loved one with compassion, and take steps to protect them.
Practical help when you don’t know where to turn
Finding clear information, legitimate resources, and the right places to turn for help can be one of the hardest parts for families dealing with a scam. Protecting the People We Love brings guidance, practical tools, and resources together in one place so families don’t have to search for everything on their own.
Along with information to help you understand what may be happening and how to respond, this guide includes workbook pages, checklists, action plans, evidence and financial-loss trackers, reporting information, important contacts, security steps, and resources for finding additional help.
Whether you’re just beginning to suspect something is wrong or you’re already dealing with the aftermath, this guide gives you a place to start and practical next steps for moving forward.
You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes protecting someone you love starts with simply knowing where to start.
Created from my lived experience to help families recognize the signs, respond with compassion, and take action.
