Residents across Inverclyde are being asked to be alert to vulnerable adults in their communities who are susceptible to financial harm. Financial harm can cover theft, fraud and pressure to sign over property or money. It also relates to rogue traders, online scammers and misuse of benefits. People can be at increased risk to be harmed financially through factors such as ill health, trauma and physical or mental health conditions. It can happen anywhere - in someone’s home, where they work, or in a public place - and is often caused by the people closest to them. It can even happen in places responsible for keeping someone safe, such as a care home, hospital or day centre.

It’s important to speak up about any concerns you have, as the person may not be able to do so themselves. Alternatively, you can contact the Police on 101, or call 999 if you believe the person is in immediate danger.
