On today's episode, we're going talk about scams and how they are more prevalent than you might think. In fact, just in 2022, there were more than 88,000 complaints of fraud that resulted in more than $3 billion in losses from people age 60+.

Here are some of the questions we’ll tackle in this episode:

  • Why are people aged 60 and over common targets?
  • The top five scams that constitute 65% of the complaints.
  • The ‘Can You Hear Me’ scam that is easy to fall for.
  • What steps can you take to protect yourself and increase your cybersecurity?
