AARP warns about convincing imposter scams
PHOENIX — Scammers are setting their sights on seniors and raking in an estimated $28.3 billion a year through elder fraud scams, according to a recent AARP report."Someone pretending to be from the government like the IRS or the FBI, or someone pretending to be from a big business like Amazon, eBay, or PayPal," said Amy Nofziger, Director of Fraud Victim Support for AARP's Fraud Watch Network.
But, sadly the threat doesn't end there. Consumers have to remain vigilant for the scam after the scam because if someone has been victimized they might be targeted again. Talk it out. Speak to a person you trust if a conversation makes you feel uncomfortable and before agreeing to any deal or payment.
