When you look through your mail how much of it do you keep? How much is tossed aside as ‘junk mail’? We have noticed the amount of charities that are targeting our clients and it is frightening. Sometimes our seniors can be easily persuaded and fall into these traps. We are on the lookout for scams and ask that families also keep their eyes open for them. If your senior insists on donating to a charity then you can help them out by doing the research to make sure that the charity is reputable.
