What is making the news in terms of financial abuse of seniors citizens?
Phony lottery winning schemes:
Congratulations, you have won $250,000 in the Australian National Lottery!
Wire $500 for required taxes and fees and we will release you prize!
People do fall for this, even though they never entered the Australian lottery.
Phony IRS calls:
The IRS will never make an initial contact via telephone, you will receive written notice. Never give anyone claiming to be an IRS agent your credit or debit card information, or any other information.
NEVER wire money or give anyone your credit card number unless you are absolutely certain the deal is legitimate.
