Senior Issues:
Scam artists commonly perceive senior citizens as being vulnerable and
relatively wealthy due to their ability to access retirement accounts
and pensions. As a result, seniors are often the target of a wide range
of consumer fraud scams. The Arkansas Attorney General has made their
protection a top priority including legal action against those who prey
on seniors and legislation to toughen penalties against those who commit
crimes against the elderly.
