Anyone can be a victim of fraud. Anyone.
Do not be embarrassed.
Report it.
Elder Financial Exploitation by People in a Position of Trust
is often un-noticed or un-reported for a long period of time.
The suspects use predatory behavior.
Isolation is the first step.
This is usually followed by manipulation or intimidation/fear tactics.
Look for these predatory behaviors. Ask about these red flags. And report it if you see it.
Most scams contain the same elements.
When you get that call/email/text, look for these scam elements:
Urgency, Ask, Consequences, Trusted (UACTᵀᴹ):
1. A sense of urgency
2. An ask for money or information
3. Real/Implied consequence for not giving money/information
4. It will appear to come from a trusted source
Taking the time to look for these scam elements can help you avoid becoming a victim.
If you get an unsolicited,
seemingly innocuous or wrong number text,
it's probably a scam.
These scammers are trying to get you into a long friendly conversation so that you become
emotional invested in the "relationship."
They may not ask for anything from you for a while.
After you become emotionally invested in the relationship, they will eventually ask you to invest in cryptocurrency
or send money some other way.
These long cons (often referred to as "pig butchering") often start with unsolicited messages
over text, social media, or dating app.
