My boyfriends elderly aunt has been cheated out of three homes and thousands of dollars by distant relatives who she thought cared for her. (they hung around her all the time until they got what they wnated_). At this point I don’t know if she h;as any money left at all and she is getting more and more senile every day. What can we do to help her? (Her grandchildren adn sister probably won’t have anything to inherit at this rate. I am also afraid that after they use her up they may wind up puting her in an old folks home, when actually she had enough money and property to be cared for at home for the rest of her life.

I know some credit card companies do care about identity theft but my big question is how come they don’t try to protect against it harder, i.e. to keep themselves from having to pay the businesses back for someone purchasing on another persons credit card that wasn’t suppose too. If a thief charges thousands of dollars on someones credit card they stole, credit card companies have to pay back the businesses and it just seems to me that if they don’t want to keep paying of the businesses for the thieves then why don’t they protect against identity theft harder? Do they have so much money that they just don’t know what to do with it?

I’m just worried that I might lose my identity somehow.

I’ve read stories of high people have lost thousands of dollars to identity thieves.
