If you are older and you have money, you are the prime target for financial scams, and there are a lot of them out there. What can you do to avoid becoming a victim and instead become an advocate for yourself and others? We’ll talk about that and tell you how to spot scams before they’re able to take advantage.
This ‘elder fraud’ has been on the rise in recent years and the sad reality is people over the age lost $3.4 billion to scams in 2023, according to the FBI. There isn’t a week that goes that we don’t have someone telling us about their own personal experience of being targeted in one of these common scams, and things are only getting more sophisticated with the improvements in technology.
Join us today to learn about the latest scams targeting retirees, how to protect your finances, and steps you can take to safeguard your retirement.
