Why’s time to talk about fraud

Fraud mobile screen.

Now is the time to talk about financial fraud. Addressing sensitive financial topics can be challenging, and is best handled face-to-face with care.

Fraud often spikes during the holidays. Here are a few reasons why:

  • Scammers exploit the spirit of giving by creating fake charities or soliciting donations for victims of war or natural disasters.
  • Older Americans may feel lonely during the holidays, making them more vulnerable to emotionally manipulative scammers.
  • The increase in payment transactions can allow fraudulent activities to go unnoticed.
  • Online shopping for the holidays can provide scammers with opportunities to capture personal information.

Taking the time to talk about these issues can help protect your family.
