Protect Your Loved Ones from Scams Targeting Seniors

Senior citizens are at high risk for scams and fraud, especially online. Luckily, their children can play a role in helping them stay safe online through education and consistent support. There are many practical steps adult children can take today to help their aging parents avoid falling victim to the many scams that exist. .

01

Communicate

Open communication is key. Sign your loved ones up for the National Do Not Call Registry, and have a candid (and ongoing) conversation about the most common scams targeting seniors. Share real examples of fraud that you’ve seen or encountered in the news to create awareness of these types of scams.

02

Share advice on how to identify a scam

Spend some time with your loved ones talking about red flags to watch out for. Give them the confidence to speak up or reach out to you if something seems off. Reiterate that scammers will often have a sense of urgency, but this is just a tactic. Legitimate businesses will not approach you with such urgency. There is always time to wait, ask questions, and return a call later.

03

Review phone and online safety rules.

Remind your loved ones never to disclose personal financial details via email, phone, or text. Talk about how to keep your information safe on your cell phone. Make sure they have legitimate phone numbers handy for those that they most often do business with. Advise them that if they're ever in doubt, to hang up the phone and call the person back at the legitimate number they have on file.
