We recently attended an
and participated in a program on older adult scams. It is
estimated that millions of older adults from all walks of life
encounter harmful scams each year.
If we think of society as a building that supports our
wellbeing, then it makes sense to design the sturdiest
building we can - one with beams and a solid foundation
and walls necessary to keep everyone safe from scams and
healthy as we age. We have organizations like consumer
protection service agencies that work to stop scams and
make sure companies, banks and lenders treat us fairly.
But is it a scam??? Is the sales person using high pressure
sales tactics? Scams often say things like, “Act now!”;
“Time is running out!”; “This is a onetime offer!” Are
you being told that you won a contest that you didn’t even
enter? Lottery and sweepstakes scams almost always start
this way. You can’t win a contest if you didn’t enter! Have
you been scammed I the past? Often scam victims have
their personal contact information sold to other con artists.
You may get unsolicited calls from people promising to get
your money back or provide other remedies or offers. These
offers can be scams too. Beware! You may receive phone
calls for services that you were not seeking. Sometimes
scams begin with someone knocking on your door offering
services or sending out promotional materials. This often
happens I n the case of home repair scams. Sometime you
may be contacted over the phone by the “police”. Some
scams begin with a person pretending to be a police officer
who tells you that they are concerned that you have been a
victim of a crime. They then proceed to solicit your personal
information. In truth, the police will contact you in person
if they have questions for you or believe that you have been
a victim of a crime.
Protect yourself: Sign up for the Do Not Call Registry at
www.donotcall.gov.
Shred junk mail, old bills, bank statements and any other
documents that have personal information.
It is ok to be rude. If a sales person calls or comes to
your door and seems to not take no for an answer, close the
door or hang up the phone. You don’t have to let yourself be
pressured into anything.
Never sign anything that you don’t understand. Have a
trusted person to assist you.
Everyone has a right to safety and to be protected from
scams.
