Alert: How Scammers are Tricking Our Loved Ones – FBI Report Reveals Top 3 Scams

May 22, 20241 min read

An alarming FBI report has unveiled that scams targeting our loved ones are escalating, and it's crucial we act now.

Our loved ones are getting robbed and it's happening right before our eyes! This all according to an FBI report out just this week to tell us about these scams. Just like we talk to our kids about stranger danger, we have to talk to our parents, neighbors, and loved ones about stranger danger too.

We’ll uncover the top three scams that pose the greatest threat: text scams that manipulate with fake alerts, invasive data breaches that siphon off personal and banking information right from under our noses, and heart-wrenching confidence and romance scams that exploit emotional vulnerability for financial gain.

So let's go over the top three reported scams according to the FBI:

#1: Tech scams. For example you get a text message that says: did you spend $500 at a store? You reply No!

#2 Data Breach Scams. Yes, data breaches happen all the time.

#3 Confidence Scams and Romance Scams.

It’s time to extend the conversation about stranger danger beyond our children to include every generation. Learn how to protect your family and join us in spreading awareness to keep our loved ones safe.
