Did someone call, text, or email and say you have to pay the government immediately, in a specific way, or you’ll be in trouble? That’s a government imposter. No one from the government will ever demand payment only with gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or a payment app. Only a scammer will.

Amazon Scam Alert!

Scammers are sending fake texts and emails claiming an Amazon order was recalled or that your Prime membership is renewing at an unusually high price. Their goal is to get you to click a link and enter your account information.

If you receive a suspicious message, don't click any links. Instead, log in to your Amazon account directly through the Amazon app or at Amazon.com to verify any issues.

When in doubt, delete and report the message.

Suspect a scam? Call the AARP Fraud Watch Network™ free helpline at 877-908-3360 and talk to one of their fraud specialists about what to do next.

If someone says they’re from the government and tells you to move your money or put it in a federal locker, that’s an imposter scam. No one from the government will ever tell you that your money isn’t safe and you must move it to “protect it.” Only a scammer will.

Elder Abuse Awareness!

Financial scams are one of the most common forms of elder abuse. In 2024, older adults reported losing $2.4 billion to fraud—and the true amount is likely much higher because many scams go unreported.

Take time to talk with the older adults in your life about common scams and remind them that it's okay to ask questions before sending money or sharing personal information.

If you see or experience an imposter scam, report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Your report makes a difference. Together, we can help protect the dignity, independence, and financial security of older adults in our communities.

Help Protect Loved Ones from Scams

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Financial exploitation affects millions of older adults each year, often through scams and fraud.

Help protect the older adults in your life by encouraging them to add a trusted contact to financial accounts, freeze their credit, and use robocall or text-blocking tools.

Small steps can make a big difference in safeguarding financial well-being.

If you suspect a scam, call the AARP Fraud Watch Network™ free helpline at 877-908-3360 and talk to one of their fraud specialists about what to do next.
