Older Adults´ Vulnerability to Fraud: Narrative Review Study

Objective. Older adults are frequently victimized by various types of fraud, which, in addition to economic losses, leads to psychological distress. The amount of fraud is likely to increase as the population of older people constantly grows. The scientific interest in the fraud vulnerability of older adults has also increased over the past years. The aim of the study is to provide a brief overview of research findings on the subject matter. Method. The research was conducted utilizing keywords such as ´fraud´, ´scam´, ´vulnerability´, ´older adults´ in relevant academic databases. 21 empirical studies published since 2015 were selected as the basis for this review paper. Results. Fraud vulnerability of older adults rises partly from age and retirement transition -related changes, as well as other personal, psychological, social, and situational characteristics. Methods and suggestions for future research and practical interventions are also discussed. Conclusions. A review study may help us in further research in the selection of the thematic focus and an appropriate research methodology in order to strengthen prevention and intervention programs aimed at a group of older adults. Limitations. The limitations of this study lies in the disadvantages of the used narrative-method review, such as possible subjectivity or cognitive bias, no quantification of data, and possible omission of literature outside of selected databases or unpublished articles.
