Victims may have signed over rights without understanding what they are signing. Report any suspected cases to the Adult Services Division of Social Services. Financial exploitation can also be reported to the local district attorney or law enforcement. Consumer rip-offs can be the basis for theft cases. If the victim is an at-risk adult, special penalties may apply.
Victims often are unable to ask for help, because of fear or disability.
