🚨 What is Elder Fraud?

Elder fraud happens when scammers target older adults and deceive them by promising goods, services, or financial benefits that don’t exist. Their goal is to gain access to personal information or money.

Here are a few ways to help prevent it:
🔒 Guard personal information
Never share sensitive details over the phone or online unless you are on a secure, verified website.
📵 Monitor communication
Be cautious of unexpected calls, texts, or messages from unknown numbers.
⏸️ Slow down and verify
Take your time before responding to urgent requests. If something feels off, contact a trusted family member or friend directly (not through social media) to confirm.

What to do if you or someone you know is a possible victim: report it to local law enforcement, the Federal Trade Commission at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov, and the Internet Crime Complaint Center at http://www.ic3.gov.

💰 Budgeting Tips to Help You Stay on Track

Rising gas prices and everyday expenses can add up quickly—but a few small habits can make a big difference in your budget.

Here are some simple ways to stay organized and in control of your spending:

📊 Plan your monthly expenses using a spreadsheet or budgeting tool
📉 Review subscriptions and cancel anything you don’t use
🛒 Make a grocery list before shopping and track your total as you go
🏡 Eating at home more often can help you save compared to dining out
💳 Check your account balance before spending and monitor pending payments

⚠️ Keep in mind: EFTs and ACH transactions may not appear in your available balance right away, so tracking them can help you avoid unexpected fees.

Small steps today can lead to stronger financial habits tomorrow!

💡 Loan Education: When Borrowing Makes Sense

A personal loan can be a smart financial tool when used responsibly. It may help simplify your finances and support your goals—whether you’re consolidating debt, covering an unexpected expense, planning a trip, or managing school costs.

✔️ Debt consolidation may combine multiple payments into one
✔️ Structured repayment plans can be easier than high-interest credit cards
✔️ Responsible borrowing can help support long-term financial goals

If you use a loan to pay down credit card debt, it’s important to avoid building new balances again.

Have questions about personal loans? First Choice Community Credit Union is here to help.
