How to Protect Yourself
Simple steps to keep you safe from scammers
Never Give Personal Information
Legitimate organizations will never ask for passwords, Social Security numbers, or banking information over the phone or email.
Take Time to Think
Scammers create urgency. Always take time to verify information and consult with trusted family members or friends.
Verify Before You Trust
Look up official contact information independently and call the organization directly to verify any claims.
Stay Connected
Maintain regular contact with family and friends. Social isolation makes seniors more vulnerable to scams.
