What is a warning sign that exploitation may be occurring?

A sudden change in banking practices is a significant warning sign that exploitation may be occurring. This can include unusual withdrawals, sudden transfers of funds, or discrepancies in account activities that were not previously apparent. Such changes may indicate that someone is inappropriately managing or taking advantage of another person's financial resources. Monitoring banking habits can reveal patterns suggesting exploitation, particularly if the individual in question is unable to explain or authorize those changes.

The other options do not reliably indicate exploitation. Frequent socializing can be a normal part of life and may even improve one's well-being, while an increase in activity level or heightened emotional stability might be signs of positive change or adaptation to a situation. None of these behaviors directly correlate with financial exploitation as clearly as a sudden change in banking practices does.
