Common Scams That Target Seniors – What to Watch Out For

 

Scammers often target seniors because they believe they can trick you into giving away money or personal information.

Here are some of the most common scams to watch out for and how to protect yourself.

1. Tech Support Scams

📞 How It Works:

  • You get a phone call, email, or pop-up message saying your computer has a virus.
  • The scammer pretends to be from Microsoft, Apple, or another tech company and asks for remote access to your computer.
  • Once inside, they may install harmful programs or demand money for fake repairs.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 Microsoft, Apple, and other real companies will NEVER call you about a virus.
🔹 Never let someone you don’t trust control your computer remotely.
🔹 If in doubt, call a trusted family member or an IT professional.

2. Phishing Emails and Texts

📧 How It Works:

  • You receive a fake email or text pretending to be from your bank, Medicare, Social Security, or another trusted company.
  • The message asks you to click a link to verify your account or enter personal information.
  • If you click, you are taken to a fake website that steals your information.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 Never click links or download files from emails/texts you weren’t expecting.
🔹 Call the company directly using their official phone number to verify the message.

3. Grandparent Scams (Emergency Calls)

👵 How It Works:

  • Someone calls pretending to be your grandchild or a lawyer/police officer on their behalf.
  • They claim your grandchild is in trouble (arrested, in a car accident, etc.) and needs money urgently.
  • You’re pressured to send cash, gift cards, or wire money.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 Always confirm the situation by calling your grandchild directly.
🔹 Scammers rely on you acting quickly—pause and verify before sending money.

4. Lottery or Prize Scams

🎉 How It Works:

  • You’re told you won a lottery, sweepstakes, or big prize (even if you never entered).
  • To “claim” your prize, you must pay taxes, shipping fees, or handling costs upfront.
  • The prize doesn’t exist—they just take your money.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 If you didn’t enter a contest, you didn’t win.
🔹 Real prizes NEVER ask for money upfront.

5. IRS or Government Impersonation Scams

🏛 How It Works:

  • You get a call, email, or letter pretending to be from the IRS, Social Security, or law enforcement.
  • They claim you owe money or your benefits are at risk and demand immediate payment.
  • Scammers may threaten you with arrest if you don’t pay right away.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 The IRS NEVER calls or emails to demand immediate payment.
🔹 Government agencies don’t accept payments via gift cards or wire transfers.
🔹 Hang up and call the official agency number to verify.

6. Fake Online Shopping Sites

🛍 How It Works:

  • Scammers create fake websites or ads that look like real stores.
  • You order a product and pay, but the item never arrives.
  • Sometimes, they steal your credit card details too.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 Shop on trusted websites like Amazon or Walmart.
🔹 Look for “https://” in the website address—it means the site is secure.
🔹 If a deal seems “too good to be true,” it probably is.

7. Romance Scams

❤️ How It Works:

  • Scammers create fake profiles on dating sites or social media.
  • They build trust over time, then claim they need money for an emergency, travel, or business opportunity.
  • Once you send money, they disappear.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 Never send money to someone you haven’t met in person.
🔹 Be cautious of anyone who gets too romantic too quickly.

8. Medicare and Healthcare Scams

🏥 How It Works:

  • Someone calls pretending to be from Medicare or an insurance company.
  • They ask for your Medicare number or other personal details.
  • They may offer fake services or bill Medicare for things you never received.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 Medicare will never call you asking for personal details or payment.
🔹 Protect your Medicare card like a credit card.

9. Fake Charity Scams

🎗 How It Works:

  • Scammers pretend to represent charities, especially after disasters or during the holidays.
  • They ask for donations over the phone, email, or in person.
  • The charity is fake, and your money goes to scammers, not those in need.

✅ How to Avoid It:
🔹 Donate only to charities you know and trust.
🔹 Check legitimacy at CharityNavigator.org.

Final Tips to Stay Safe

🔹 Trust your instincts – If something feels “off,” stop and check.
🔹 Slow down – Scammers want you to act quickly. Pause and think first.
🔹 Never share personal details – Social Security numbers, bank details, and passwords should always be kept private.
🔹 Ask someone you trust – If you’re unsure, ask a family member or friend for advice.
🔹 Hang up or delete – It’s okay to end a suspicious call or ignore a message.
