Getting Physicians' Help With Elder Fraud
sEPTEMBER 22, 2009
U.S. state securities regulators could soon be turning to health-care professionals for help treating a growing problem: investment fraud against the elderly.
Denise Voigt Crawford, newly elected president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, or NASAA, helped launch a pilot program in Texas that enlists physicians and other health-care professionals in identifying and assisting seniors at risk of financial exploitation. She is Texas' securities commissioner.
"Am I going to promote a broader national reach for the program? You bet," said Voigt Crawford.
