"Elder fraud is not just a financial crime; it's an emotional one," Sanchez said. "Scammers exploit trust, fear, and isolation. Education is the strongest defense we have, and this book is meant to empower, not frighten, seniors and those who care for them."

Protecting Our Elders covers a wide range of threats, including phone scams, romance scams, identity theft, fake investments, Medicare fraud, and emerging dangers such as AI-driven impersonation schemes. The book also emphasizes prevention, teaching readers how to recognize red flags, safeguard personal information, and build family and community-based protection plans.

Written in a compassionate, straightforward style, the guide is designed not only for seniors but also for adult children, caregivers, financial professionals, and community organizations. It includes practical checklists, reporting resources, and step-by-step guidance for what to do if fraud is suspected, making this an important learning tool for anyone involved in elder care or advocacy. At a time when many victims feel shame or hesitation about reporting scams, Sanchez's message is clear: awareness saves dignity, independence, and financial security.
