Our Mission

The mission of End Elder Fraud is to end cyber fraud in our senior community--a community that is uniquely vulnerable to the ever-evolving tactics of domestic and international scammers. 

We achieve our goal by delivering fraud awareness training specifically designed for senior citizens. End Elder Fraud, a 501c3 nonprofit, is committed to reaching as many seniors as possible. All training is offered free of charge. We go to seniors in retirement communities, senior living homes/communities, assisted living centers, etc. We also offer public fraud awareness sessions where all ages are welcome. 

End Elder Fraud is uniquely qualified to succeed in our mission based on a combination of experience and business strategy. Our Founder, Edward Nelson, has over 10 years in hands-on scam abatement. Those efforts include working with authorities and corporations to identify and take down scam sites. 

Educated in Information Systems from the University of California, Berkeley, Ed has held leadership roles at Cisco Systems, GoPro, and OPKIX, where he was instrumental in building client engagement processes to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII).  And with his boundless energy, Ed also created and ran several successful businesses. 

Strategically, End Elder Fraud has established partnerships with the FTC, local law enforcement in Colorado and California to aid in information sharing and where possible the prosecution of scammers. Further, End Elder Fraud partners with leaders in online scam abatement such as Jim Browning.
