Senior Identity Theft

Senior identity theft is on the rise and unsuspecting, trusting seniors often fall prey to it to the cost of billions of dollars a year. In this Smilecast we look at common frauds and schemes and things you do to prevent them. If I received 10 calls from the “IRS” last year, I received 50. You know the one – pay up or you may go to jail. It’s one of many schemes and frauds that surprisingly do work! You see older seniors come from a generation that paid their bills, on time. So when they receive calls like the IRS scam, well some want to pay the bill and do. It’s sad. But with each new year comes new twists.
