Reports on Elderly Issues and Family Caregiving
Hawaii's Fraud Prevention & Resource Guide
August 2008
Hawaii's Fraud Prevention & Resource Guide is designed to help residents protect
themselves against fraud. The 134-page guide provides information about different types
of fraud, including identity theft, securities fraud, marketing fraud, and healthcare
fraud. The guide includes a special section for kupuna, our elders, and a directory of
county, state, and national resources to contact for information and assistance. The
State of Hawaii Executive Office on Aging, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs,
and Department of the Attorney General collaborated to produce the guide. Major
funding came from the Executive Office on Aging through a grant to SMP Hawaii from the
U.S.Administration on Aging.
