"Love shouldn't cost a dime — verify before you trust."
Every year, elder fraud costs Americans over $81.5 billion. We're here to change that through education, community support, and real recovery resources for those who've been harmed.
We're a nonprofit dedicated to reducing romance and elder scams by 20–30% in targeted communities through proactive awareness, support, and recovery.
Seniors are disproportionately targeted — and too often suffer in silence. Shame and fear keep victims from reporting, while scammers grow bolder.
Safe Hearts & Wise Wallets was founded to break that cycle. We bring together prevention education, real-time support, and a community of survivors to ensure no one faces fraud alone.
Our approach is holistic: we meet people where they are — in libraries, churches, senior centers, and online — and we stay with them through recovery, long after the immediate crisis has passed.
Community workshops, digital resources, and media outreach to build awareness before harm occurs.
Counseling, peer mentorship, and legal aid for victims recovering from financial and emotional trauma.
Financial recovery assistance, bank claim support, and grants to help victims rebuild their security.
A free scam-check app, hotline, and digital literacy tools so seniors stay protected independently.
Scammers are sophisticated and emotionally manipulative. Knowing what to look for is your strongest defense.
We address fraud at every stage — from prevention to long-term recovery — with tailored programs for every need.
