Everyone is in danger of falling victim to "Imposter scams". But the elderly are often targeted and therefore more vulnerable.
Elder abuse isn’t always physical. It can be financial, emotional, or cyber-related, and scammers are becoming more convincing every day. They prey on trust, urgency, and sometimes loneliness.
An Imposter scam can occur several different ways.
*Scammers may pose as a government employee and threaten to arrest or prosecute you unless you agree to pay alleged fines, taxes, etc.
*Scammers may solicit meetings via text message, social media, etc
*Scammers may report that a relative has been arrested, abducted, or injured and request payment for their release or treatment (virtual kidnapping)
These are all RED FLAGS of a scam. Please take a moment today to share the attached information with a parent, grandparent, neighbors, and friends.
Together, we can help everyone, especially our seniors stay safe, informed, and empowered.
