Please send us a note leaving contact details if you have been affected by elder financial abuse.Beware Mysterious Mark is a ten-part audio documentary about elder financial abuse, built around one harrowing true account of how a predator isolated an elderly man from his family and systematically took control of his life and his assets. Names have been changed. Events and conversations are drawn directly from the family's own detailed records.Told by storyteller Nancy Miles, whose partner Brooke watched her father being taken piece by piece over seven years, the series weaves dramatized conversations re-enacted by actors with commentary from professionals who see these cases every day: an estate planning lawyer, a geriatrician, a capacity assessment specialist, and a researcher whose doctoral work focused on loneliness in older adults.Together they expose how undue influence works, why it so often goes unseen, and what families, friends, and communities can do to recognize it and stop it.Episode 1 premieres April 30th at 7 p.m. Follow now wherever you listen to podcasts.Beware Mysterious Mark is a Radio Sidney production. This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program.Show notes, episode transcripts and resources: mark.radiosidney.caContact: [email protected]
