Safeguarding Seniors

April 10, 2026
Est. Reading: 1 minutes

National Senior Fraud Awareness Day (May 15) is a reminder that scams targeting older adults continue to rise. According to the Federal Trade Commission, older Americans report some of the highest financial losses from fraud each year.

Common Scams to Watch

Tech Support Scams
Unsolicited calls or pop-ups claiming your device is compromised.
Tip: Never give access or pay for unexpected “support.”

Government Imposters
Scammers posing as Social Security, Medicare, or the IRS.
Tip: Government agencies won’t ask for personal info by phone, text, or email.

Fake Account Alerts (Smishing)
Urgent texts about issues with your account.
Tip: Don’t click—go directly to the official website or app.

A Growing Risk

Elder financial exploitation is one of the fastest-growing forms of abuse—often involving someone the victim knows.
