Description

The presentation will cover increasingly common scams targeting seniors, including relationship investment scams (which often start with a wrong number text or social media message), affinity fraud, celebrity endorsement schemes, and imposter scams. Attendees will learn practical steps to protect themselves, including how to recognize red flags like pressure to invest quickly, requests for payment via gift cards or cryptocurrency, and too-good-to-be-true promises. Other topics will include how to research investments and investment professionals using free S.E.C. resources like Investor.gov, as well as how to protect your online accounts from fraud.
