Seniors, unfortunately, are susceptible to scams in a lot of forms. Due to them typically having a lot of money in their accounts, seniors are generally targeted by scammers through phone calls, emails and even mailers. These scams include everything from telemarketing, insurance fraud, medical fraud, investment schemes, sweepstakes and more.
However, with the right knowledge, individuals can learn to identify these scams before they happen. They can learn more in a Senior Scam Stopper seminar being held in Concord on Tuesday, Nov. 14.
