Scam

The scams against seniors are getting worse, if that’s even possible, and the thieves are becoming sneakier and more creative by the minute. We have to up our game to stay one step ahead of them and not fall victim.

This is not the world we grew up in, or even the world we knew for much of our lives. If my informal poll of friends and acquaintances is correct, we don’t like it much.

Here we are in the middle of the holiday buying season, already leery of online purchasing scams and every email we receive that includes links.
