It could be YOUR parents who are the next victims to lose their life savings ...
Watch the following video from Keeping In Touch Solutions about some of the scams targeting seniors today
You heard another report on TV about how the elderly are being targeted and victimized in scams and frauds. We know what it's like when you are worried about your aging parents. We've been in that situation, too. Do you know why they are seen as easy targets? Let me give you some reasons. Elderly folks, especially those who live alone, are eager for conversation, so ...
- They talk with anyone who calls or knocks on the door. It's polite and fills a need for socialization.
- They have kind and generous hearts and want to help others. A donation to a charity or helping someone in a tight spot seems like the right thing to do.
- They have manners. It's rude to hang up on someone and be assertive with a firm "no."
- They are more easily confused. Talking around and around a victim is one way to talk them into something because they aren't aware they are being manipulated.
- They trust people. When someone calls saying they are from the bank, the IRS, the victim's mortgage holder or credit card company, seniors don't question them and provice the information requested.
The difficult part for you is that even after you warn them, it still happens to your aging parents because you can't be with them 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.
It doesn't have to happen ... not if you have Senior Fraud Alert protection.
My mom was so excited that she had contributed to a special cause in town and when I found out that it didn't exist, I was furious. It made me see how easy it would be for her to be victimized. That's why I got her subscribed to Senior Fraud Alert. Now I'm not worrying - and neither is she! Thanks!
The Senior Fraud Alert program is easy and effective. Best of all, it empowers your elderly loved ones and allows them to maintain their independence. The way it works for your mom or dad is a very simple three-step process.
- A solicitor calls.
- Your loved one uses a prepared script to refer all callers to "someone who helps me make those decisions" at another phone number.
- Your loved one hangs up.
We take it from there. If the solicitor is from a legitimate organization, they will call the referral number, which is actually our call center. We sort and filter legitimate requests from the scammers and frauds. The senior's family is then notified within 24 hours of legitimate requests by phone or email. The family and the senior can then decide to take whatever actions they wish regarding legitimate calls.
Senior Fraud Alert prevents your loved one from being victimized and allows you to help them make the decisions that are in their best interest. With Senior Fraud Alert watching over your family, you prevent serious consequences including financial and identity theft and at the same time empower your family elders to maintain their independence.
My husband, Jerry, would give away the store to all those people calling us. But once I got him going with the Senior Fraud Alert program, I don't have to worry about it. In fact, he started saying, "Another one bites the dust!" every time he hangs up after one of those calls. It's kinda funny, but I'm really glad about it.
