FAST Description

The Financial Abuse Specialist Team (FAST) is a multi-disciplinary group of public and private professionals who volunteer their time to advise Adult Protective Services (APS), the Ombudsmen, law enforcement and private attorneys on matters of vulnerable adult financial abuse. Our FAST Coordinator provides education on financial abuse to the public and other professionals, and works with legislative groups to create and strengthen the laws available to protect the vulnerable adult population.

The Council on Aging – Orange County is happy to announce they have just become the contracting agency for the California Department of Corporation’s SAIF (Seniors Against Investment Fraud) program. SAIF educates elder and dependent adults in the community on topics including, but not limited to,

  • investment scams
  • advanced fee fraud schemes
