CONSUMER FRAUD DEFENSE TIPS FOR SENIORS
- Older people tend to be too trusting of people when it comes to their finances, but research should be performed to make sure who you are giving money to can be trusted.
- It is important to take time to understand what you are getting into because emotions can affect judgment and lead to bad financial decisions.
- Continually ask questions and don’t just go by trust to better understand what options are available and you can also prevent being preyed on for consumer fraud.
- Older people should not feel obligated to remain courteous to solicitors on the phone or people who come to their door and are interested in your financial matters.
- Elderly widows tend to be targets of consumer fraud due to their financial situations and limited experience with financial matters.
- It can become very easy to allow someone else to take complete responsibility of your financial matters but keeping track of your money at all times will better ensure that instances of consumer fraud do not result.
- Victims of consumer fraud often responded that the caller sounded nice, but you can never judge an investment based strictly by how someone sounds.
