While the session addresses online crime broadly\, it will also address the most devastating cases\, including romance fraud and crypto investment fraud\, where the psychological and financial harm can be life-altering. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will cover the psychology scammers use to manipulate victims\, why breaking free from a complicated relationship fraud is far harder than it looks\, and what the emotional and financial aftermath actually feels like from the inside. Drawing on five years of survivor data and program outcomes\, presenters will share what structured recovery looks like and why it is the missing layer of consumer protection. \n\n\n\nThe session will also address current gaps in federal law that leave fraud victims without adequate rights or support. Current legislative efforts will be highlighted alongside concrete steps that elder justice advocates and professionals can take to move the needle. The session is designed to be practical and actionable\, giving the audience concrete language\, referral pathways\, and policy talking points they can use immediately in their work with older adults. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Speakers\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ally Armeson Executive Director\, FightCybercrime.org \n Ally Armeson is the Executive Director of FightCybercrime.org\, where she works directly with high-loss victims of online fraud to help rebuild their emotional\, financial\, and digital lives after devastating crimes.
