USA Today reports that AI is making elder fraud harder to catch and adult children are increasingly the last line of defense for aging parents.
CoinFlip’s Safe in Six framework, which customers interact with multiple times during every transaction, can serve as a foundation for adult children to talk to their parents about the warning signs of scams so they can understand how common fraud has become and scams are common.
This simple set of six questions is designed to help spot the most common scam methodologies currently being used by scammers:
1. Are you being asked to transact by someone you don't know?
2. Are you being told to act quickly or secretly, or asked to lie?
3. Does the offer seem "too good to be true"?
4. Are you being asked to pay a fine, bill, warrant, or bail with crypto or gift cards?
5. Is someone asking for crypto to secure a job, remove a virus, or "secure" your bank account?
6. Is an online romantic interest asking you to send money to a kiosk or bank account?
If you or someone you love answers "yes" to any of these, stop and call our 24/7 customer support team 877-757-2646. Our agents are specially trained to detect and prevent fraud and are available at any time to answer questions.
You can find our Safe in Six framework on Coinflip.tech – we encourage you to print it, save it, or walk through it with a parent this week. The conversation is easier before a scam happens, not after.
CoinFlip is committed to stopping fraud in the crypto market. We employ advanced tools as well as 24/7 customer support to help identify scammers.
