🚨 **SCAM ALERT: “SOMEONE TRIED TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT IN YOUR NAME!”**

You receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from your bank. They say someone tried to open an account using your identity.

They sound professional. They may even know your personal information.

Then they offer to “protect” your money or identity—but first, they need you to verify information, provide a security code, or move your money.

**STOP! This could be a scam.**

🚩 They ask for your password or verification code.
🚩 They tell you to transfer money to a “safe” account.
🚩 They pressure you to act immediately.
🚩 They tell you not to speak with anyone else.

🛑 **HANG UP.**
📞 **CALL YOUR BANK** using the number on your bank card or official statement.
🔎 **VERIFY** whether an account or application actually exists.

**Remember: Your bank will never need you to transfer money to a “safe account” to protect it.**

Share this warning with family and friends. A moment of caution can prevent a costly loss.

🌟 FRIDAY INSPIRATION

**Respect Means Letting Older Adults Have a Voice.**

Growing older shouldn't mean losing the right to make your own choices.

Every older adult deserves to be:

💙 Heard, not dismissed.
💙 Included, not overlooked.
💙 Respected, not talked down to.
💙 Supported, not controlled.

For professionals who serve older adults, remember: **helping someone doesn't mean taking away their independence.**

Sometimes, the greatest act of care is listening, offering support, and letting someone decide for themselves.

**Every person deserves dignity. Every voice deserves to be heard.**

Have a wonderful weekend!

🌟 **FRIDAY INSPIRATION**

**Never Be Too Busy to Listen.**

For an older adult, being heard can matter just as much as the service being provided.

Good professionals don't rush the conversation.

They listen.
They ask questions.
They explain.
They give people time to make decisions.

Because sometimes, **the most valuable thing you can give someone is your time and your attention.**

Older adults deserve to feel heard, respected, and valued—not rushed or overlooked.

**Slow down. Listen. Make a difference.**
