Today is your day Boomer! Every day we read in the news....lots of stories about senior scams. Many older Canadians getting bilked out of thousands of dollars because they trust people....people who are criminals on the phone or internet. Last year it was almost 10 million dollars in our country! This would never happen to us, right Boomers? We are too young, we don't have dementia, and are not easily fooled! Well, many of us are now into our late 70's....we're getting up there! According to the National Institute on Aging, here are the top four senior scams: (1)Government impersonator scams, such as someone posing as a Medicare representative asking for account information (2)Fake prize, sweepstakes, and lottery scams, in which you are asked to pay money or provide account information to claim winnings (3)Computer tech support scams, in which a scammer tells you that your computer has a problem and wants you to pay for support services to fix it (4)The grandparent scam, in which a caller pretends to be a grandchild or other relative in distress. Yes, I was targeted by #2 on social media this week, and a friend was hit by #4 a few months ago. It's happening Boomers. Be very aware and always seek trusted advice before you pay.....
