My widowed, childless Uncle suffered a stroke which caused dementia. We had to hire caregivers. He could no longer drive or do much for himself. We found out he had 30 withdrawals 12,000 dollars taken out over a six month period.
These withdrawals were taken out in the Pasadena area,he lives in Riverside.I believe a caregiver took a credit card from the mail, made up her own pin and went to town. The bank said they could not do anything and said the withdrawals were legitimate. He has never been to Pasadena, he can't drive and his bank is less then a mile away.The bank should have seen a red flag here?The caregivers were hired from a licensed bonded company.We went to the District Attys office with a complaint of fraud, but they say there is no record on file.Elder abuse was no help.
