AARP Fraud Watch Network

Elder Abuse & Protection · New Jersey · 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. Adult guardianship can be appointed by a court when capacity is gone; emergency guardianship is faster but temporary. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required to call or browse.
