Americans aged 60 and older are among the primary targets for fraudsters. According to the FBI:
"Americans aged 60 and older are primary targets for fraudsters, with estimates showing that 1 in 10 seniors falls victim to fraud or identity theft each year. In recent years, older adults have reported over 100,000 fraud complaints annually, resulting in staggering financial losses exceeding $3.4 billion to $5 billion."
In addition, an AARP survey found that 41% of adults over age 50 have experienced fraud, identity theft, or the theft of sensitive personal information.
If you are over 50, or if you have parents, grandparents, or other family members over 50, consider having their computer checked for signs of fraud or malware.
