"It quickly turns, and it becomes very overwhelming for the individual to deal with,” said Jessica Jones, Director of the Berks County Area Agency on Aging. “That can be someone being exploited by a family member, it could be someone being exploited by scammer by phone, Facebook, or some other form of social media.
