It’s easier for us tech-savvy folks to stay up to date on the latest strategies employed by scammers and identify them in action, but many of our older loved ones can’t stay the same.

By just spending a bit of time researching what the latest scams to look out for are and then educating your loved ones, you can potentially save them (and yourselves) from having to go through the trauma and financial burden from being scammed.

Trust me, as much as you’d like to think your parents (and yourselves) are too smart to be scammed, there are and will continue to be newer, more devious ways of scamming folks. Stay sharp out there.
