A Study Written on the Psychological Aspects of Undue Influence By Margaret Thaler Singer, Ph.D.
Abstract
Experts investigating a purported undue influence situation need to study the mental and physical condition of the influence, general... social influence techniques, tactics of thought reform, and responses and behavior found in other high-control, intense influence situations ranging from the Stockholm syndrome to abused women and the methods of corrupt caretakers. The case of the "evil nurse" is discussed to illustrate these factors. In addition the following conditions of influence are discussed in their relationship to undue influence: isolation, creating a siege mentality, dependency, sense of powerlessness, sense of fear and vulnerability, and being kept unaware.
The law gives special attention to the issue of the fairness of the balance of power between the signer and the person(s) who obtained the signature on the document (Dawson, 1947). When the issue of undue influence in securing the signatures on documents is raised, the court is asking: What was the process which constituted the undue influence? What is the history of how this document and signature came about? What were the circumstances -- psychological, social, physical, medical, and so forth -- which have bearing on how free, informed, and capable the signer was at the point of signing the designated documents to freely express his or her own desires? What undue influence (improper, exploitative persuasion) was exerted on the signer?
A physician needs a thorough medical, social, and environmental history to properly diagnose a patient. The investigator analyzing the circumstances surrounding the signing of a document in which the issue of undue influence is raised must secure a thorough, multifaceted history and integrate the processes, interactions, and conditions that impinged on the signer. What, if any, effects did the circumstances and conditions produce? What has subsequently transpired?
The most frequent situations in which the issue of undue influence is raised are in the obtaining of signatures to wills and the signing of documents transferring money and property.
As Nievod (1992) noted, courts will consider at least six factors influencing the signing of legal documents: the state of mind, the "freedom of will" of the signer of a contract or will, the imbalances of power or the unfairness shown to a weaker party in the transaction, the lack of independent advice, the susceptibility of the weaker party to the importuning of the stronger, and a lack of time on the part of the signer to reflect and consider the consequences of all actions.
In addition, four sets of factors are crucial to consider in such cases. Those investigating a purported undue influence situation need to (1) evaluate the mental and physical condition of the signer, including psychiatric, psychological, and neuro
psychological assessments of the person; (2) be cognizant of general social influence techniques (Cialdini, 1984); (3) be aware of brainwashing tactics, thought reform programs, and various systematic manipulation programs (Boulette & Andersen, 1986; Lifton, 1961, 1989; Ofshe & Singer, 1986; Schein, 1961; Singer, 1987; Singer and Addis, 1992; Singer & Ofshe, 1980, 1990); and (4) be aware of responses and behavior found in other high-control, intense influence situations ranging from the Stockholm syndrome to abused women and the influence of caretakers on their charges (Fulton, 1987; Graham & Rawlings, 1991; McGuire & Norton, 1988; Nash, 1976; Strassman, Thaler, & Schein, 1956; Strentz, 1980; Ursano, 1981; Ursano, Boysun, & Wheatley, 1981). The investigator should consult with experts in the just cited fields of social and psychological influence about what to look for in the way of documents and observers. The latter can be of great usefulness in reconstructing what was occurring at or near the point of the signing and may provide invaluable information about relevant conditions. These experts may have suggestions about whom to interview and whom to have examine the victim of the undue influence (if the person is still living--for often the maker of the will is deceased).
The forms of control and the kinds and extents of deception--the Psycho-technology of undue influence-range from blatant and overt to prolonged, subtle, and covert. But most improper influence situations considered here are organized, planned influence programs which have been exerted by the stronger party on the signer of legal documents. How did the stronger party elicit the compliance of the weaker party?
First, let us consider how compliance in general is obtained. How does one person go about getting another to do his or her bidding?
How Is Compliance Induced?
Compliance is produced by three general methods of persuasion-- reason, coercion, or subterfuge--used singly or in various combinations. Each and combinations of these methods can be involved in the obtaining of signatures on documents.
Coercion can be actual or threatened; it can be physical, social, psychological, or financial in nature. Physical coercion is blatant, while the other forms of coercion are more covert. However, most coercive methods can be more easily noted by the intended victim and detected by investigators. Thus, corrupt persuaders resort to subterfuge and deception (Nash, 1976). They seek to gain compliance without fully informing the intended signer of the consequences of his or her act of signing. The exploitative persuader tries to keep the pawn unaware of his intention to elicit compliance and keeps the person less than fully aware that he or she is being moved along a preplanned course of action designed to benefit the persuader and to bilk or to gain control over the person, funds, and property of the other.
Vulnerability to Influence Varies
While everyone is influenced and persuaded daily in various ways, vulnerability to influence fluctuates. The ability to fend off persuaders is reduced when one is exhausted, rushed, stressed, uncertain, lonely, indifferent, uninformed, aged, very young, unsophisticated, ill, brain- damaged, drugged, drunk, distracted, fatigued, frightened, or very dependent. Each of these states should be considered when evaluating the state of mind of a signer of a document.
One of the first questions is: How vulnerable to influence was the person at the time of the signing? Why? What types of influence, behavior control, and methods to increase vulnerability to persuasion were present at the point of signing? Were conditions "constructed" to increase vulnerability to persuasion? Often these reach outrageous proportions.
Evaluating the Circumstances Preceding and Related To the Signing of the Documents
A brief example of a common situation in which undue influence is generated to obtain signatures is illustrated by the following example, which I name "The Case of the Evil Nurse." This case has the basic components of many undue influence cases and illustrates the process of undue influence. The term is not meant to indict nurses or females. Rather both historically and in the writer's experience, the person in the caretaker's role, or, in actuality, in the role of a gatekeeper, can set the stage and create the circumstances in which a person's vulnerability to persuasion can be increased or preyed on by an artful person. The term "artful and designing persons" has a longstanding legal use as well as being descriptive of the person frequently seen in the generic role of the "Evil Nurse."
The Case of the Evil Nurse
Ms. Rose, an 80-year-old spinster, lived alone. She had worked hard, and acquired considerable property and money, which she always stated was to go to her niece and her children upon her demise. They were her only surviving relatives and lived several hundred miles away. Formerly, they lived nearby. Since moving, their contact with their aunt was less frequent, but the contacts were warm, established, and intact. They called, visited, and wrote. At some point they learned that Ms. Rose had fallen and that one of her tenants, "a practical nurse" who rented a house owned by Ms. Rose, had moved into Ms. Rose's large, elegant home to care for her. Shortly, when they phoned they never got to talk with Ms. Rose. The "nurse" always gave an excuse: Ms. Rose was asleep, did not want to be disturbed, was out at a doctor's appointment, was off with a friend in a nearby town, and so on. The relatives no longer received replies to their letters. When they visited, they were turned away at the door. The nurse would say that Ms. Rose had said she was too tired and did not want visitors, or gave some other excuse.
Eventually, they became alarmed and through legal help ascertained that much of Ms. Rose's considerable wealth had been taken over. The nurse led Ms. Rose to believe that a former friend of hers to whom she had loaned money had come back and secretly stolen most of her money. The nurse further led Ms. Rose to believe that she and her nephew had saved her life after a fall and had taken her into their place, actually one of Ms. Rose's own properties. The nurse and her nephew represented that they were needed to protect her from marauders, drunks, and drug users supposedly threatening her home. Sometime later, Ms. Rose was induced to marry the nephew, a man 40 years younger, so he could "protect" her as her husband. He then "managed" her money and property, and as her spouse stood to inherit Ms. Rose's considerable wealth and properties. The relatives were told they could only visit if accompanied by a lawyer. This was a puzzling situation because it was not clear whose lawyer was intended.
The niece secured legal help and investigation revealed that to accomplish these ends, the Evil Nurse had been in collusion with a corrupt accountant and renegade attorney who had represented Ms. Rose for some years and in whom she had trust. The case was a complicated one and is disguised here to protect identities. Here is where understanding the "program" of influence to which Ms. Rose was subjected becomes important.
Those investigating the situation (lawyers, investigators, psychologists, psychiatrists, geriatric and other physicians) produced data that indicated a chronology of interrelated factors that revealed the progressive building of a pseudoworld Ms. Rose was led to accept and obey.
In retrospect, the crucial turning point in the building of greater control grew out of the fall. In that accident, the old lady suffered a mild sprained foot and a bump on the head which were considered medically non-significant by treating physicians at the hospital to which Ms. Rose was taken. It appeared that the old lady might have been over-medicated and pushed or tripped to produce some fear and transient in-capacities. The Evil Nurse and her nephew played upon Ms. Rose's transient foot and head problems, and solicitously cared for her. History brought out that they spoke and treated her in ways to exaggerate her weakness, to infantile her, and to promote her dependence on them. They convinced her that going out was dangerous, not only because "she couldn't walk," which hospital and physicians refute for this time period, but they further convinced her that drug addicts and thugs were right outside her house and that potential robbers stalked the areas. In reality, the house was near a recreation yard used by law enforcement personnel during their rest periods, and the neighborhood was well patrolled by the police because of the nearby homes of foreign diplomats.
Because of these efforts, her fears, and her heightened physical dependence, the nurse and nephew persuaded her to permit them to stay in her home, as they were now needed to care for and protect Ms. Rose who had been abandoned seemingly by the world. This had been engineered by the culprits who took over Ms. Rose's life. They induced her to think a man to whom she had in earlier years lent money had come back and surreptitiously drained her finances to indulge his drug and alcohol habits. Eventually, they convinced Ms. Rose that her niece was trying to put her in a rest home and take control of her money. Ms. Rose was told falsely that the niece and her offspring never wrote, called, or visited and that they had abandoned her. Likewise, neighbors and longtime friends who called or appeared at the house were turned away by the Evil Nurse and her nephew, who never told Ms. Rose these visitors had appeared. The program that the culprits set into play caused Ms. Rose to be reduced to a state of terror and dependency. They eventually conveyed to Ms. Rose that the only way for her to retain control of her property and money, to avoid being sent to a nursing home, and to be protected from the potential robbers and thugs was to marry the nephew of the Evil Nurse.
Even after a court-appointed lawyer guardian was appointed for Ms. Rose, the Evil Nurse, who knew Ms. Rose had a lifelong hatred of people who wasted their money on alcohol, kept on influencing Ms. Rose to turn her against the lawyer by offering him a glass of wine in front of Ms. Rose, and later speaking ill of him for drinking the wine. Space limits the detail that can be provided here, but this much of the case gives the reader a sense of the general situation, the programmed quality, and the tenacity of the Evil Nurse and her colleagues.
Evaluations were made of Ms. Rose's medical status, mental competency, neuron-psychological status, and the social and psychological influence strategies seemingly brought to bear on her.
How the "Program" Worked
Below are illustrations of how certain mechanisms of influence and control were put into place by the Evil Nurse, her nephew, the renegade lawyer, and the accountant to achieve complete domination of Ms. Rose and to secure control over the old woman's property, money, and person.
These represent only a few of the many techniques, tactics, and strategies one finds in various undue influence situations. Though brief, the analysis conveys the essence of one of the most frequent patterns which applies to the above case and many others. This outline can help an investigator conceptualize and explore a suspected undue influence case, and can aid in presenting to the court the psychology of the processes frequently seen in such cases.
The programmed quality and sequencing may seem sophisticated and overly intentional. However, it is prototypical of such cases and illustrates the ever‑present folk art of manipulation to gain compliance, which artful and designing manipulators down through the ages have come upon. Con games, street hustles, undue influence situations, brainwashing, and the Evil Nurse scenario represent forms of obtaining compliance deceptively in situations that benefit the manipulator at the expense of the complier, and follow patterns humans fall into when subjected to certain manipulative conditions.
Undue influence situations are not all the same, as was noted earlier, but the Evil Nurse scenario occurs so frequently that it can serve as a prototype of analysis in a number of similar situations.
Further, undue influence can be wielded in a far shorter time span than was the situation in this case. Most, but not all, Evil Nurse scenarios, however, involve a fair amount of time. A fair amount of time is usually necessary to set the stage for the "siege mentality." The following conditions are important components to set the stage for undue influence.
Conditions Facilitating the Work of the Influencer
Six factors are prominent in undue influence situations. They are the production of isolation, the creation of the "siege mentality," the fostering of dependence, the creation of powerlessness, the use of fear and deception, and the keeping the victim unaware of the manipulative program put into place to influence and control the person and to obtain the signing of documents which benefit the manipulators at the cost of the signer.
1. Isolation
Isolation is set into motion by the manipulator by controlling as closely as possible all avenues of communication to and from the intended victim. The manipulator desires to create and convince the potential signer of the existence of a pseudo-world. In other words, the manipulator creates a big myth that is supported by the surrounding events and conditions that the manipulator is able to put into place. The Evil Nurse and her collaborators used such tactics as sending family, friends, and neighbors away, censoring the mail, and controlling phone calls. The Evil Nurse effectively cut off outside information and support from coming to Ms. Rose. Simultaneously, she made others feel that Ms. Rose did not want to see or talk to them. Thus, Ms. Rose was walled away from incoming information and could send none out. The Evil Nurse, aided by the renegade lawyer and the accountant, became the sole source and channel of information from and access to the broader world. They were the "gatekeepers" controlling both incoming and outgoing information. The deceitful control and manipulation of information puts the victims in these situations at a great disadvantage.
2. Creating a Siege Mentality
Creating a siege mentality is usually added once the isolation has been effected. That is, anyone other than the Evil Nurse and those few she needs to assist her to carry out her plan are spoken of in ways to convey that the outside world is threatening and menacing the well-being, even the life of the pawn. The niece and her children, friends, neighbors, and even the mythical thugs and drug addicts who might be prowling nearby were used as outer threats against whom Ms. Rose and the Evil Nurse must fortify themselves. The home was regarded as a safe fort, but always potentially threatened by sinister outside forces. The niece was turned into a greedy person trying to put Ms. Rose in a nursing home and take her money. The police in their exercise yard were labeled a group of thugs and addicts, and the patrolmen in the neighborhood as potential burglars. Ms. Rose was not taken for an eye examination and needed new glasses. She could not see clearly either to read or look about. To continue isolating Ms. Rose, the nurse placed a very large table in front of the window in Ms. Rose's room so that she could not get to the window to really see what was outside. Thus, she had no way of knowing that she was being deceived, nor could she call out to others below if she were so inclined.
3. Dependency
A sense of dependency on the nurse and her cohorts was fostered. Ms. Rose was led to see herself as alone, cut off, unable to walk easily. She was led to believe that these "helping" persons were the only trustworthy persons available. That only they, in effect, could preserve Ms. Rose's life.
4. Sense of Powerlessness
A sense of powerlessness was also created by the engineered isolation, the fostered dependency, and the siege mentality. The pawn is led to see that only the influencer or the one in charge has the power to do anything.
5. Sense of Fear and Vulnerability
A sense of fear and vulnerability was fostered by the exaggeration of her physical problems, making Ms. Rose feel vulnerable and feeble. False fears were instilled by telling her she was surrounded by menacing people, known and unknown. The Evil Nurse and her cohorts had convinced Ms. Rose that only they could preserve her life, property, and money.
6. Staying Unaware
Ms. Rose had to be kept unaware and uninformed about the construction of this false reality, that she was responding to an engineered or pseudo world. She had to be kept unaware of the playing upon fear, the use of lies, exaggerations, deceptions, and manipulations that caused Ms. Rose to see only the constructed false world the deceivers allowed her to see. The designing band of the Evil Nurse, her nephew, the corrupt accountant, and the renegade lawyer colluded to make it appear they were the only protectors of Ms. Rose in the midst of a terrifying and threatening world. They managed to induce Ms. Rose to see them as her only support and protection in the seemingly menacing world produced by their tales and behavior. They had established the conditions under which highly stressed persons who are captives begin to form bonds and become dependent on their captors.
They literally had deceived her in many ways to make her so fearful and actually their captive, and thus vulnerable to manipulations that drove her to feel her survival depended on them. They had created conditions psychologically similar to, if not totally identical with, those conditions that produce the Stockholm syndrome (Strentz, 1980). This is a situation in which bonding between captives and captors occurs, as puzzling as it may sometimes appear to the ordinary citizen.
The Stockholm syndrome was identified in 1973 after four people held captive in a Stockholm bank vault for six days became attached to the bank robbers. The hostages came to see the police and the outside world as their enemies and dangerous. A bond developed between the hostages and their captors. Since then a number of similar situations have been described. Psychologists have become interested in a series of groups who form bonds with their captors (Graham & Rawlings, 1991), such as battered women (Boulette & Anderson, 1986), hostages, incest victims, abused children, cult members, prostitutes with pimps, prisoners of war, Chinese civilians imprisoned during Mao Tse‑Tung's reign, and between caretakers and their ill charges (Fulton, 1987).
Granted there are differences between Ms. Rose and the Evil Nurse example and some of the groups just listed, but it is similar to the conceptualizations of Fulton and Graham and Rawlings, who have looked at many groups and describe the isolation, fear, dependency, and eventual bonding. These writers have tied together some basic human patterns of survival compliance noted by psychologists and others in a number of situations.
It is of heuristic value to consider applicable aspects of the Stockholm syndrome psychology to Ms. Rose's circumstances and the conditions in which many vulnerable victims of undue influence find themselves. The four conditions that are said to lead to the development of the syndrome are (1) the captor threatens the woman's survival or she feels her survival is threatened; (2) the person is in a situation from which she cannot escape or at least thinks she cannot; (3) she becomes isolated from others; and (4) the captor shows some kindnesses. If these conditions exist, often a captive bonds to her captor.
It is easy to see the psychological similarities between Ms. Rose and her circumstances, which were engineered by the Evil Nurse, and the situation in which a hostage finds herself. While there are differences, the similarities and outcomes make psychological sense when we compare Ms. Rose and other captives, not necessarily those held at gunpoint, but those bonded to controllers as outlined in the literature cited. Ms. Rose was unduly influenced to marry and to sign over her property and control of her money and house in circumstances in which she had been maneuvered and manipulated by the Evil Nurse and the nephew. She felt isolated, feared for her survival, feared she could not escape the situation, and ended up bonding to the Evil Nurse and the nephew as a means of survival. Succumbing to undue influence under the circumstances as outlined here suggests that Ms. Rose fell into a common human survival strategy when so manipulated and deceived that she saw the world as the undue influencers had led her to see it. She felt isolated, powerless, surrounded by hostile forces which she did not have the power to prevail against, and responded to the false kindnesses and care of the Evil Nurse and the nephew, literally bonding with her captors.
Summary
There are infinite varieties of undue influence situations. Not all situations will include all the conditions outlined in the Evil Nurse, and most cases will have their own unique set of circumstances. However, the six factors of undue influence outlined in the Evil Nurse story will serve as guidelines to help evaluate whether undue influence is at work in the signing of documents. The case of the Evil Nurse serves to encourage the investigation of the social and psychological influences brought to bear on any person where the issue of undue influence is raised.
The six factors of isolation, creating a siege mentality, fostering near or total dependency, creating a sense of powerlessness, the use of fear and deception, and keeping the person in a state of ignorance by manipulating the environment are the basic components of many undue influence situations. These six factors serve as a pattern and as a starting point for the attorney, the investigator, and the psychologist to proceed with an investigation. The questioned document examiner, too, may be included in the investigation, because the attorney may not know at the outset whether a document was forged or signed while the person was unduly influenced. There will also be cases that will involve both forged documents and those signed under undue influence.
The analysis of a suspected undue influence situation rests upon excellent history gathering from as many sources as possible and the formulation of the psychological and social influence tactics brought to bear on the person. The condition of the person--physically, mentally, and emotionally--also needs inclusion in the analysis. The presentation to the jury needs to be conceptualized in ways that the jury can understand. The jury needs to hear about what occurred and its impact, and to have undue influence tactics explained in understandable ways. They need to know about how the signer was led to see the environment that was constructed through deception and about the social techniques used to instill fear and dependency. A jury needs to understand how a person comes to bond with another under certain conditions in order to survive, and that survival can be viewed by the victim in many ways--not just surviving a gunpoint hostage situation, but surviving against a constructed, fearful world from which he or she sees only the options the influencer offers.
The example of what transpires between a captor and captive illustrates the position of the signer in the constructed environment that is often created by those who corruptly influence and manipulate the elderly, the infirm, foreigners, and others to sign documents that benefit the person in the role of Evil Nurse to the detriment of the signer.

The Bendigo Bank is not the only Bank that has been caught in Institutionalized Elderly Financial Abuse of their Customers and other people with Disabilities like Dementia, Wetspac Bank has also according to Denise Brailey of the BFCSA Bank...ing & Finance Consumers Support Association .
I have to admit that it is only though Denise and the BFCSA do we have the real figures of the extent of the Financial Institutions abuse of the worlds Senior Citizens, giving us the true picture and extent of the problem.
There is now no doubt that it has been happening, we just never knew how extensive it was, but now the truth is coming out for the public to see and it is NOT a pretty picture for the Banks or the entire Financial Services Industry...!!!
This is a story well worth reading and they wonder why we don't trust a word that come s of a Bankers Mouth any longer...!!

When my mentally ill reclusive late father became an involunt...ary subject of 'financial management order' applications to the NSW Guardianship Tribunal, he was a 'hidden victim' of prior financial exploitation via a new friends interference with his wills and although I advised the Tribunal that I totally distrusted the 'friend' and his solicitor friend who for then unknown reasons had become my father's solicitor, when the so-called 'legal process' was completed, the 'expert' Tribunal members declared:
"Although Mrs. W. has expressed distrust regarding the actions and motivations of the 'friend' we find him to be open and forthright and the best person to place a the 'private financial manager"
As a result of this quasi legal decision the 'friend' was protected from scrutiny and I was robbed of the opportunity to investigate his past financial and legal dealings with my father until after he died seven years after the hearing.
A 'will dispute' with the 'friend' followed my father's death and during this process sworn evidence was provided confirming my long held suspicions of the 'will interference' and the evidence also revealed the fact that the 'friend' covertly triggered the Guardianship action when he had a 'genuine concern' for the security of a will which he arranged to have drawn up by his own solicitor prior to the Guardianship hearing.
At the time of the Guardianship hearing the well respected professional 'friend' and his colleagues stood to gain shares of my father's estate which would have amounted to between $800.000 and $1 Million dollars.

There is no doubt that what we are witnessing is in fact, a Bank perpetrating Elderly Financial Abuse and also continuing it to the point when it is becoming Elderly Emotional Abuse or Psychological Abuse being perpetrated against Senior Citizens by the Bank..!!
We have been closely watching and have been investigating the Bendigo Bank, now with the help of a Financial Analyst we have also been delving into who really owns the Bendigo Bank and the roads do lead to some very Interesting Places.

The ABC Action News I-Team have started an investigation into "Florida’s Guardianship Program" in the United States, as we all know Florida is Americas Capital when it comes to Retirees and this in itself makes there Journalistic Investigat...ion extremely important Worldwide.
The investigation is being headed by Investigator Adam Walser who joined the ABC Action News I-Team in June 2013 and to who I "Take My Hat Off" too, for his dedication to this socially important matter, this is what Investigative Journalism is all about and he is proving to be a valuable asset showing that Investigative Journalism is not dead.
There appears to be one name that keeps coming up and that is of Guardian Patricia Johnson, who appears to be a real little net-worker with over 50 wards of the State under her control, when she first came up on their Radar with the case of 99 year old William Berchau of whom we have written about before.
It is worth noting that it was only in the mid 1970's when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) started to use the science of criminal profiling, where they identified "The Serial Killer" and dedicated a Criminal Profiler Department to identify and pursue them.
I suspect that Adam Walser investigation may well identify the existence within our society of another class of criminal, the "Serial Guardian Abuser" and his journalistic endeavors of perusing this story may be as important to the identification of Institutionalized Elderly Abuse as Watergate was in its day to Politics.
Here is the first link to the commencement of his series of reports and I would urge you all Worldwide to follow this, as I am sure that the revelations that he exposes can be also identified and mirrored in other States and Countries like Australia, Canada, England (UK) and Ireland just to name a few as this is also a Global Problem...!!!
At least after Adam Walser efforts 99 year old William Berchau (Willi) is free, Willi managed to Survive both the horrors of Adolf Hitlers and Joesph Starlin's terror now with Adam, Family, Friends and the National Association to STOP Guardian Abuse he has even managed to survive even Guardian Patricia Johnson and the Guardianship Abuse he had to endure for 2 years.
You would NOT think that this could happen in America but it is each and every day, all around the world there are Victims like Willi and who will be their "Champions and Save Them"...!!!

The Reverse Mortgage Market has been one that professionals have been watching closely for sometime, as the next penny to drop of Institutionalized Elderly Financial Abuse or as it is call in some counties Seniors Financial Abuse. The matt...er has not been lost on the National Association to STOP Guardian Abuse in the USA or Denise Brailey of the BFCSA Banking & Finance Consumers Support Association in Australia.
In Australia they are known as "ARIPs" (Asset Rich and Income Poor Loans) and many other Countries by other names, but the reverse mortgage scams are engineered by unscrupulous professionals in a multitude of Industries such as Real Estate, The Financial Services Industry including Banks, and related companies to steal the equity from the property of unsuspecting senior citizens or to use these seniors to unwittingly aid the fraudsters in stealing equity from a flipped property.
There growth between 1999 and to this day is staggering to say the very least and although it would appear that the same "Serial Financial Abusers" have dived right into this little Gold Mine, as where involved in the Sub-Prime Loan Scandal in the USA (or in Australia No Doc and Low Doc Loans)..
Reverse Mortgages have a long history as do the "Serial Elderly Financial Abusers" or "Serial Seniors Financial Abusers" and the Financial Institutions that they either work with or work for and the individuals that have been "Head Hunted" specifically to do the Job.
Just like Predatory Rats leaving a sicking ship back in 2007, the same people that had been targeting Senior Citizens since at least the mid to late 1990's, moved on according to a Reuters Report into the Reverse Mortgage Market...!!
Remember Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo (amongst the other usual suspects like JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America), as some of the same Financial Institutions that where the very same players in the Sub-Prime Loan Scandal and the same Institutions that where head hunting them to do their dirty work yet again..!!!
The Consumers Union Report was airing its concerns back in time to 2002, with Elders or Seniors in the Sub-Prime Mortgage Market and it looks like "here we go again", all with the Usual Suspects involved yet again.
Needles to say with the international cross ownership and intertwined global institutions, its only a matter of time when the bottom falls out from under either you or the one you love in a town near you..!!!

I have said time and time again that that Bank Victims and Institutional Elderly Abusers are basically one in the same, working Globally to collect the wealth and real property that they can from everyone they can.
The Bank Victims of the Sub-Prime Mortgage Scandal are not aware that they have the very same enemy, the Organized Crime Cartels of the Worldwide Financial Services Industry as the Elderly Abuse or Guardianship Abuse Victims do.

Karen Hudes former Senior Counsel for the World Bank Legal Department, says that Corruption within Banks is unacceptable and is Dangerous. She explains that the Banking Rules and Regulations have not been followed both within the United St...ates Banking System and even within the World Bank itself, in fact that these cover up go on even at the highest of levels.
Today the Worlds Financial Markets are so intertwined and complicated for a reason and that reason is Corruption at even the highest level of levels of both Banking and Governments Worldwide.
These are the Banking Cartels that threaten the stability of the Global Financial Markets and are intrenched within America and Australia, that have caused the major problems for Sub-Prime Mortgage Victims and Institutionalized Elderly Abuse by Banks to this day.
The Bendigo Bank's Christine Frankham, Mike Hirst and Marnie Baker are small potatoes on the world stage, but if we do not start prosecuting the smaller players like the Christine Frankham's of this world we will never work our way to the top and catch the big players.
There are many other Christine Frankham's within the Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank, ANZ Bank and Westpac that we could be going after and like the old days of going after the Mafia, you start at the bottom and work your way up the ladder until you have got the people at the very top...!!!

Denise Brailey and The Banking & Finance Consumers Support Association (BFCSA) is an organization that everyone should be watching, as in the American Revolution of Independence, Denise will soon be firing “The Shot that will be Heard Aroun...d the World”.
But this time it won’t be from 13 rouge colony’s of the Crown, this shot will be fired from Australia and have ramifications Worldwide as she aims directly at the heart of Global Financial Cartels that have used there power to Corrupt our Politicians and have destroyed the lives of so many Worldwide.
To say Denise Brailey is a remarkable women would be an understatement and she has managed to strike fear into the heart of the beast, exposing the Global Banking System for what it really is and how intertwined and interdependent via cross ownership they are.
When I said that we have an problem with “Institutionalized Elderly Abuse” I meant it and the message is not lost on Denise as she is fully aware of the danger the 800 Pound Gorillas are to the Wealth of the Greatest Generation, the Boomers and their children.

Happy New Year to Christine Frankham, Mike Hirst and Marnie Baker and all those people at the Bendigo Bank from The National Association to STOP Guardian Abuse, Boomers Against Elder Abuse and BendigoBanksters that spent there time tireles...sly to both cover up Elderly Guardianship Abuse and their parts in the Australian Sub Prime Loan Scandal.
I wish you the very Best in 2014 and just wanted you to know we will not be forgetting you during 2014 and we won't be forgetting your victims either...
http://nasga.wordpress.com/2013/10/05/bendigo-bank-christine-frankham/See More- I must admit that I found this a little more that just interesting when I found it on Justice and Right referring to the Bendigo Bank and as as they quoted from Torrens 2009-3 Series Supplement: “Trustee must not communicate, disclose or pe...rfect title. The Trustee must not give any notice to, or communicate in any other way with a Mortgagor or disseminate or disclose any information in respect of the assignment of the housing loans.”
This does also bring into question what has also been going on with other State Run Trustees that hold Billions of Dollars of Funds of Wards or Protected People monies and the Guardianship of so many Australians and how much money is really involved, what the dickens has been going on...???
Especially when you see Names like Perpetual Trustees and Sandhurst Trustees involved and you logically have to ask what twisted mess is there here, that could also involve names like The NSW Trustees, Queensland Trustees and those in every State of Australia..???
I have always said that Bank Victims and Guardianship Abuse Victims have a lot in common and the 800 Pound Gorillas in all of this is the BANKS and the Financial Services Industry Worldwide, they are a Global Danger not only to the Disabled, Seniors, Elderly, Retirees but to everyone even the young people of the world...!!!

Jessica Cutler in part 1 describes the Bendigo Banks unethical behavior when we obtained a loan from them after her father became ill, a property in Queensland was part of the security and they are also residents of Melbourne. The Bendigo B...ank put them through eighteen months of extreme stress or hell, when it gave them a loan but managed it in the most bizarre and incompetent way.
The Bendigo Bank refused to take responsibility for its actions and completely ignored its own Code of Conduct. Haven't we heard this story all before about the Bendigo Bank time and time again, her story is yet another that shows there is some serious issues within the Bendigo Bank that needs to be addressed.
I would describe the Bendigo Bank as a pact of habitual liars and I am sure that Jessica Cutler would agree with me, she does Name Names and good on you Jessica great video..!!!

Jessica Cutler in part 2 she tells the story of her attempts to obtain restitution from the Bendigo Bank for what it did to them and what it tried to do to us, first through the Bendigo Bank and then through the Financial Ombudsman Service....
It also shows how the legal system is effectively closed to the ordinary person and that the Bendigo Bank knows that people have no effective means of redress against anything the Bendigo Bank cares to do.
Again she describes how the Bendigo Bank LIED to her and her brother, well we have all heard this story before and it seems to be their standard procedure to lie and she goes in to great details.

Paul Hogan is another celebrity that is Missing Millions, he first came to worlds stage as Crocodile Dundee in 1986, but long before that his first appearance was on Burt Newton's "New Faces" and then he got his own TV Show "The Paul Hogan ...Show" in Australia back in 1973.
You would not normally consider him as a Victim of Elderly Financial Abuse would you, but he does meet certain criteria at the age of now 74, been taken advantage by his Financial Adviser and he is battling a Bank.
But this is not the same case as we saw with Mickey Rooney, however it does bring up several points the first being the code of silence by Banks and the Financial Services Industry.
Also the fact that this can happen to anyone despite there social standing, being rich or poor and that there are no Statutes of Limitations for Crimes like Fraud within Australia, just as Denise Brailey of The Banking & Finance Consumers Support Association (BFCSA) has been explaining.
I guess that rather than trowing another Scrimp on the Barbie. he must now feel like someone else was throwing his Dollars on the Barbie and you never know Paul might be a great Celebrity Spokes Person against Elderly Financial Abuse..???
I would bet you London to a Brick that he knows what it feels like and he might just have the empathy to do it, he is a Great Bloke after all and got the run around while being put though the ringer as so many victims do.

Denise Brailey of The Banking & Finance Consumers Support Association (BFCSA) in Australia have shown us what the figures are in relation to elder or seniors fraud is within the banks. As stated the video comparison between the UK and Austr...alian Senate Inquires the Banks had a unique position of trust in our societies.
These are complicated matters even for the best educated of us and was easily betrayed by the Banks, what chance does a Ward (Protected Person), Family Members or even a Business or Regular Customer have against them or one of their Banks Managers who knows the system so well and betrays his or her position of presumed trust..??
The answer is absolutely none against either as an Institutionalized Serial Elderly Abuser or as a Lone Wolf Guardianship Abuser, that is protected by the same Financial Institutions that has betrayed their position of trust themselves.
But then what does one expect from "White Collar" Organized Crime Cartels and there part in what can only be called a sordid criminal mess..!!!!

While everyone is complaining be it because of a Corrupt Banks, Fraudulent Bankers, Guardians or Organized Elderly Abusers there are things that we can be doing and that is reporting the complainants though websites like American base Scamb...ook and flood it with our complaints.
We also need to be better organized and collectively put aside any differences we have and start to get involved with other causes to create a Mega Movement or Mass Alliance with other groups that have similar issues as we do.

The man who forced the government of Iceland to resign and kicked out the IMF representatives from his country, Hordur Torfarson, is now teaching meta-modern democracy throughout Europe.
The rest of the world would benefit from following the example set by Iceland: Arresting the corrupt bankers who are responsible for the current economic turmoil.
Here is his amazing story
Full employment contributes above all to achieving human dignity.
”It’s nice to be important, but is more important to be nice.”
The true measure of the leader is not how many followers he has, but how many leaders he creates.
Too many people hold the idea that psychopaths are essentially killers or convicts.The general public hasn’t been educated to see beyond the social stereotypes to understand that psychopaths can be entrepreneurs, politicians, CEOs and other successful individuals who may never see the inside of a prison.
The difference between bankers and the mafia is becoming increasingly indistinguishable.
”Mastering others is strength,mastering yourself makes you fearless.”
Control Your Money or Your Money Will Control You Change your attitude toward debt. Every time you use credit for a purchase think,”Debt is slavery; I am making myself a slave.”
“Manipulators rarely advise you to seek new and diverse information or to ‘learn and research for yourself,’ it tends to be safer for exploitative and irresponsible leaders to keep their citizens in the dark; in their view less independent thought is better.
Independent thought leads to an inquiring mind, a mindset that eventually leads to the questioning of authority figures, and that is the one thing that inadequate leaders do not want.”
Governments have never existed to solve problems domestic or international. Governments and their institutions exist merely to further and secure the interests of favored groups, but We the People are never the favored group.

Rarely do we have such a well documented case of Elderly Financial Abuse or Bankers Fraud that also appears to have been the gateway to other forms of Elder Abuse being perpetrated, as we do in the case of Yolanda Hutton who was a Customer ...of the Bendigo Bank and a client of Christine Frankham.
We also appear to actually have the prima facie case against the Bendigo Bank and its Management for aiding and abetting Christine Frankham and in turn her co-conspirators, this is a prime opportunity that appears to be lost on Attorney General and Minster for Justice Greg Smith to use existing laws to prosecute these perpetrators.
The bottom line is "what else does she know of the Bendigo Banks operations", that the Bendigo Bank is so hell bent on protecting her, things that may well help the case against the Bendigo Bank for other victims of there sub-prime loan scandal and the Senate Committee Hearing into ASIC ..???
The failure to prosecute Christine Frankham and her co-conspirators, including the Management of Bendigo Bank would be a lost opportunity and a Travesty of Justice, Attorney General and Minster for Justice Greg Smith is turning his back on Seniors and the 47% of the Electorate of Mandatory Voters that supported his Party in the last State Election.
As Seniors and Retiree Associations start to look at this case and ask the question of why was there not an arrest and why the old excuse has been used of the victim being too old or too ill to make a good witness for the stand is still being used to fail to protect Elderly Senior Victims, the present NSW Government and its Ministers of Parliament (MP’s) should be worried.
The people of NSW and Australia should be asking themselves who owns there Government, is it the People or the Banks and Financial Institutions and with the next election for NSW less than 12 months away the pendulum of politics can swing the other way, as confidence in the present Government and the Criminal Justice System heads in the opposite direction.

Danielle Jesserer is an Elderly Abuse Advocate Extraordinaire and now a NASGA Affiliate in the United States, where much of our Data and Information is coming from at the moment on Elderly Abuse (yes the Americans are ahead of yet again).
...
Danielle touches on some interesting issues that need to be addressed and faced by us as we progress, she does this in a no nonce way that everyone can easily understand.
Danielle goes though all the forms of this Silent Epidemic of Crime that we are now realizing is actually a Global Pandemic and gives some very sound advice that is simple and practical to follow.
As most of my readers know my area of interest in principally "Financial Abuse" or "Elderly Fraud", however every and all forms of the perpetration of elderly seniors abuse draws my attention, as we often know that Elderly Financial Abuse or Seniors Fraud is a Gateway Crime to many of the others.
It leaves the victim open and vulnerable to the rest, I have to admit that she did have my ears prick up at a certain point when she got into relevant age and that magic number of 65 years old....!!!
Not withstanding the fact that she uses that as a generalized guideline for the direct victim who many or may not have some disability like Alzheimer Dementia or other Disabilities, but it is also worth noting that many of the down stream victims being Family Members are of or around that age also.
It is not a long bow to draw by saying that this brings up the argument that Elderly Abuse is being perpetrated by Individual Private Guardians and Professional Guardians appointed by Courts or Tribunals, Corporations, Banks and Financial Institutions upon those Family Members that are Seniors themselves.
Put simply a 90 year old Father or Mother having say a 65 year old Son or Daughter is NOT unusual....!!!
My point being that the principle victim of elderly abuse may not be the only victim of elderly abuse, with family members or children of the victim also being victims of elderly abuse by the perpetrators also....???
About Danielle Jesser:-
Danielle attended Appalachian State University majoring in Pre-law and English. Shortly after working for an attorney in North Carolina she began working as an elder abuse advocate where she realized that elder abuse is rampant. Danielle now works with the Senior Veterans Council (Raleigh, N.C.), the National ADA Advocates (main office, N.Y.), and in her free time volunteers with NASGA (National Association to Stop Guardianship Abuse), local Senior Centers, and other families that contact her for assistance. Her goal is to help raise awareness, find justice for victims, educate the public, and fight to change legislation in order to better protect people from this type of abuse.

In the past year they have organized some remarkable ...success stories, I have to admit there board of directors do impress me and I am not impressed that easily...!!!
Based in the United States but now with members around the world, they will prove to be a centrifuge in the battle against Guardians, Trustees, Judges, Tribunals, Attorney's and yes even Banks that have crossed the line into Criminality and Fraud.
With growing Alliances and a Data Base of resources that is ever growing, you would not want to get into their cross hairs, if you are in the business of exploiting, stealing from or denying the civil or natural rights of a Ward (Protected Person) or their Families Members.
Some people call them a Watch Dog, but this would be grossly underestimating them, as they are more like a Pitt Bull that operate on Donations and Extremely Dedicated Volunteers ...!!!
I do not normally Endorse Organizations but with the NASGA I am going to make a rare exception...!!!!
If you are looking to Donation either Money or Time to any organization that will STOP this Nightmare of Guardianship Abuse then the NASGA is the one to Donate that Money or Time too and they will get the job done.....!!!
