In recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on June 15, the Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) reminds financial professionals and the public that financial exploitation of seniors is a pressing issue for all Idahoans.

Patricia Perkins, Director of the Idaho Department of Finance, is warning consumers to be aware of spoofed websites. The Department recently became aware of a phony website purporting to represent Idaho licensed lender Ace Cash Express.
