West Virginia AARP Fraud Watch

Elder Abuse & Protection · West Virginia · Free

AARP fraud helpline 1-877-908-3360 — scam help available to all West Virginia residents. Built for reporting suspected elder abuse, neglect, exploitation, or financial scams targeting older adults. Most reports lead to a home visit by an APS caseworker within 24-72 hours; emergency situations are prioritized. 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.
