AARP Fraud Watch Network

Elder Abuse & Protection · Maine · Free

Free helpline 1-877-908-3360 for fraud help. Scam alerts and prevention. A starting point for any senior, family member, or neighbor who suspects something is wrong but isn't sure what to do. Anonymous reporting is allowed but limits APS's ability to follow up — leaving contact info helps the investigation. Self-neglect (refusing food, hygiene, medical care) is the most common form of "abuse" — APS handles it when capacity is in question. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
