With National Senior Fraud Awareness Day on May 15th, we wanted to reach out to go over several common scams making the rounds so you can quickly identify potential scam messages.
✅ Tech Support Scams - Fraudsters impersonate reputable tech support representatives and claim there is a problem with your device. They seek remote access or payment to "fix" issues that don't exist.
✅ Government or Medicare Impersonation - Scammers pose as representatives from Medicare, the Social Security Administration, or other agencies to collect personal information or payments. Real agencies do not solicit such data by unsolicited calls, texts, or emails.
✅ Family Imposter Scams - Criminals pretend to be a loved one in distress and pressure you to send money immediately.
✅ Sweepstakes, Lottery, and Prize Scams - You are told that you have won money but must pay fees to collect your "winnings."
✅ Romance or Investment Scams - Scammers build emotional trust online, then exploit it for financial gain.
We hope these tips are helpful as we all navigate an increasingly online world. As always, if you have questions or need guidance within our area of expertise, do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to help.
