Financial fraud targeting older adults is one of the fastest-growing financial crimes in the country.

And it often doesn’t look like a crisis at first.

It looks like:
• A small charge
• A phone call
• A new contact
• A request that feels urgent

Without consistent oversight, these situations can escalate quickly.

Regular financial review, organized records, and having a trusted second set of eyes can significantly reduce risk.

If you’re supporting an aging parent, this is one of the most important ways to protect them.

Financial fraud targeting older adults is more common than most people realize and often goes unnoticed until it’s already in progress.

The good news? There are clear warning signs and simple ways to reduce risk.

Consistent financial oversight, organized records, and regular review of accounts can help catch issues early — before they become major problems.

If you’re helping manage a parent’s finances, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help families stay organized and protected.

Most financial fraud doesn’t begin with a large, obvious loss.

It starts with:
• A small charge
• A missed statement
• A phone call that felt “slightly off”
• A request that seemed urgent

Over time, those small moments can turn into significant financial damage — especially when no one is regularly reviewing accounts.

Consistent oversight is one of the most effective ways to prevent fraud.

If you’re supporting an aging parent, having a second set of eyes on finances can make all the difference.

Financial fraud targeting older adults is growing — quietly, but quickly.

Recent FBI data shows nearly $5 billion in reported losses in a single year, and that number is likely much higher. Many cases go unreported because of embarrassment or simply not realizing fraud happened.

This isn’t rare. It’s happening every day — and often closer to home than we think.

We’ve seen families caught off guard by:
• Unfamiliar withdrawals
• New “friends” asking for money
• Tech support scams
• Fake IRS or Social Security calls
• Investment opportunities that seem legitimate

The common thread isn’t carelessness.
It’s lack of visibility.

Fraud often starts small and builds over time. And without regular financial oversight, it can go unnoticed until significant damage is done.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference:
✔️ Regular review of bank and credit card statements
✔️ Monitoring for unfamiliar charges or vendors
✔️ Keeping mail organized and reviewed
✔️ Securing passwords and account access
✔️ Having a second set of eyes involved

Isolation increases risk. Oversight reduces it.

At True Assisting, our Daily Money Management services are designed to provide that consistent oversight — helping families catch issues early and protect what matters most.

If you’re helping manage a parent’s finances, or even just checking in occasionally, this is one area where small, consistent habits can prevent major loss.

You don’t have to wait until something goes wrong to put protection in place.

Financial fraud targeting older adults is rising fast. Learn the warning signs, current scams, and how to protect your loved ones today.

As April 15 approaches, tax scams increase dramatically.
Scammers know people feel pressure this time of year. They use it.

We see:
• Fake IRS emails
• Threatening voicemail messages
• Demands for immediate payment
• Requests for gift cards or wire transfers
• Texts claiming “refund issues”

Here’s what you need to know:
-The IRS does not demand payment by phone.
-They do not threaten arrest over voicemail.
-They do not request payment through gift cards.
-They do not text about refunds.
-Tax season stress makes people vulnerable.

Organization helps reduce that stress.

When documents are gathered early, deadlines are marked, and communication is clear, there’s less panic — and less susceptibility to scams.

If you or a loved one are feeling overwhelmed by tax season, step back and slow down. Verify everything through official channels. Work with trusted professionals.

And remember: fear is the scammer’s tool. Preparation is yours.
