Too often, elder exploitation goes unreported because the victim feels ashamed or is close to the person taking advantage of them. Please do not hesitate to report elder exploitation to OAG. We will do everything in our power to hold those preying on DC seniors accountable.

NEW: We secured a guilty plea in connection with the financial exploitation of a disabled DC senior citizen. The defendant stole nearly $7,000 from a 79-year-old Ward 8 woman she was pretending to help, leaving the senior unable to pay rent. OAG will always protect DC seniors.

Local sales taxes help fund essential public services. We will not allow companies profiting from doing business in DC to evade paying their fair share. If you suspect a person or company is submitting false claims or committing fraud against DC, contact [email protected].

After investigating, OAG alleged GetThru failed to collect required DC taxes on sales to DC customers. GetThru cooperated with our investigation and agreed to overhaul its practices. It will pay $1 million to the District and will collect and pay DC sales taxes moving forward.

OAG brought this enforcement action under DC's False Claims Act. This law enables DC to hold individuals and companies accountable for failing to pay taxes — and incentivizes whistleblowers to report tax fraud. This investigation was launched based on a whistleblower complaint.
