Warn Aging Parents About More Fake Social Security Calls

Scammers will find a way to trick older people with the most underhanded schemes. Most older folks receive Social Security and it is an important income source for many retirees. When someone calls them and tells them that there is “legal activity” or that someone is using their Social Security number illegally, it creates alarm. That is exactly what the scammers want. A fear response gets the call recipient to act.

Fake calls to elders are nothing new, but many seniors are not aware of how often these scammers will hit on them, looking for the elder’s personal information. Aging parents need a warning and reminder from family not to fall for it.
