Traverse City Police are investigating cases of fraud that they believe could be tied to a larger issue to elder abuse.  Police say that a 72-year-old man is out $13,000 after claiming to have given more than $8,000 in refinancing to a company called “Golden State America” for services he did not receive. He then sent more than $4,000 to a company in Florida to help him sell his time share.  The man also said his ban won’t help him at all, either!
