The Staggering Reality

  • Reported fraud losses for adults 60 and older skyrocketed to $4.9 billion in 2024, a 43% increase in just one year.

  • While fraud affects everyone, seniors report the highest average losses, with victims often losing life savings in single incidents exceeding $100,000.

  • Real losses are estimated to be as high as $81.5 billion annually, as many victims are too embarrassed or unsure how to report the crime.

Today’s Common Scams

Tech Support Hoaxes:

This is currently one of the most devastating high-loss scams. It often begins with a fake pop-up alert claiming your computer has a "security problem."

AI & Voice Fraud:

Traditional "Grandparent Scams" involved a caller pretending to be a grandchild in trouble. Now, they use AI to clone the actual voice of the grandchild using a short clip from social media.

Investment & Crypto Scams:

Scammers promise "risk free" high returns, often targeting retirees looking to maximize their savings.

Government Impersonation:

Scammers spoof caller IDs to look like they are calling from the Social Security Administration, IRS, Medicare or other government organizations.
