Thieves pretend to be family members, generally grandchildren or children, and express an urgent need for money.
Thieves assume the identity of public servants and to detain or punish victims unless they consent to give money or other rewards.
To win over victims' trust, criminals pose as employees of respectable nonprofit organizations. Alternatively, they assert that their victims have won a foreign lottery or sweepstake, which they may obtain for a "fee."
Fraudsters physically show up and demand upfront payments from homeowners for services they never do in the home improvement industry.
Fraudsters use false advertisements promoting genuine services like credit repair or reverse mortgages to lure in potential victims.
The elderly victims' acquaintances or relatives take advantage of them or find other ways to obtain their money.
- Fight the urge to hurry things along. A sense of urgency is created by con artists to incite fear and entice victims to act right away. If you believe that you or a loved one is in danger, contact the police right away.
- Never give or send money, jewelry, gift cards, checks, gift cards, wire transfers, or personally identifiable information to individuals or companies you are not sure of.
- Do an internet search for the suggested offer and the contact details (name, email, phone number, and addresses). Information about people and companies attempting to conduct scams has probably been posted online by others.
- Verify the most recent versions of all computer security, anti-virus, and malware programs. Make use of firewalls and trustworthy antivirus programs.
- Offers for door-to-door services, unsolicited phone calls, and letters should all be avoided.
- In the unlikely event that a criminal manages to access your device or account, take steps to safeguard your identity. Make quick contact with your financial institutions to set up safeguards for your accounts and to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity with your personal data and accounts.
