Resumo(s)
Research cannot always confirm public opinion that elderly are more susceptible to fraud than younger
adults. Age-related cognitive and motivational changes increase vulnerability. Social factors are fairly
ignored by research but may explain why elderly´s vulnerability does not necessarily result in fraud
victimization. This systematic review applied a keyword- and reference-based search strategy to explain
contradictory research findings and propose a model about social factors mediating and moderating the
relationship between age and fraud victimization. Loneliness, social support, decision delegation, age
stereotypes, offender characteristics and social environment were suggested as influencing factors.
Results have to be validated by future research.
