Recognize and discuss some of the most common scams
People prey on seniors because they are likely to have savings or pensions and also because they may be unsophisticated in their use of technology. They may be lonely, trusting, or simply used to a culture of helping people in need a kindness that is often exploited. Read on for six of the most common scams and how to avoid them:
PHONE SCAMS
These are the most common scams used against the elderly, mainly because seniors are comfortable using the phone. In fact, seniors also make twice as many purchases on the phone as the general population. Solicitors may claim to be collecting money after a natural disaster or may claim to be a grandchild in jail or in hospital and in need of money.
What to do: Remind your loved one never to give credit card numbers or information over the phone. If they want to make a donation, help them seek out a legitimate charity and contact it themselves. Practice having them say, That sounds interesting, but I will look into it myself. Goodbye. Enroll your relatives number on the Do Not Call Registry. Make sure that your relative has caller ID and voicemail. This way, they can screen their calls, weed out unfamiliar numbers, but not miss any legitimate messages.
INTERNET SCAMS
These are easy to fall for, no matter what your age. Scammers may send threatening emails saying that your relatives computer has been hacked or making frightening demands from the IRS. They may offer counterfeit prescription drugs or send begging letters designed to tug at generous older adults heartstrings. They may phish, spoof, or try to extort money, clicks, and information a thousand different ways.
What to do:Obviously, you dont want to create a crippling distrust in your loved ones that makes them avoid the computer completely, but you can try to create enough suspicion in their online behavior that they doubt and verify everything. The magic adage here isif in doubt, dont click! Explain that the IRS never sends emails asking for information, that individuals desperate for money wouldnt logically choose them to specifically send a begging email to, that nobody legitimate is going to ask to take over their computer to fix a nonexistent virus, and that misspelled words, grammatical errors, and close-but-not-quite URLs are all warning signs.
FUNERAL/CEMETERY SCAMS
One scam is for a stranger to approach a grieving widow or widower and claim that the recently departed owed money. Another way seniors can lose money is to be upsold expensive and unnecessary caskets or burial plots just as they are reeling from a tragedy and not thinking clearly.
What to do: Insist on proof of any claims made. Creditors do NOT attend funerals to demand money. Although planning of this nature can be difficult, it is necessary: plan ahead. With a firm plan in place, logic is more likely to win out over raw emotion.
INVESTMENT SCHEMES
Seniors often have retirement accounts or savings, which makes them a prime target for disreputable financial advisors, get-rich-quick schemes, or Ponzi schemes. Take the time to explain this to your loved one.
What to do:Make sure that your loved one does not respond to unsolicited offers. Help them find a reputable financial advisor; this involves research, checking credentials, and making sure that the advisor is a fiduciary. As far as get-rich-quick schemes go, remind your relatives what they told you all those years ago: if it seems too good to be true, it most definitely is!
MEDICARE SCAMS
Scam artists often pose as Medicare representatives and ask for information that they will then use to file fraudulent claims on behalf of your relative.
What to do:If your loved one has a Medicare question or problem, they should contact them directly. Legitimate Medicare representatives will not ask for the information they already have.
REAL ESTATE SCAMS
It may be tempting for your loved ones to believe the claims of an entity touting the advantages of a reverse mortgage or the superiority of quickly selling their house for cash. This is especially true of those who are planning to go into senior care housing and are looking for financial solutions.
What to do: This comes down to research again, not to mention the old If it sounds too good to be true warning. Golden Lodge is experienced with unsavory scams targeting seniors and has researched funding sources for senior care and housing. You and your loved ones are not alone as you navigate your way through the sea of scams.

The $7.7 Billion Fraud Problem Facing Older Adults
A phone call sounds exactly like your grandson. He is frightened, says he has been arrested, and needs money immediately.A text appears to come from your bank.An online investment group shows months of impressive profits.A computer warning tells you to call "tech support" before your accounts are compromised.Every one of these situations can feel legitimate, especially when a criminal already knows your name, relatives, bank, or other personal information.That is why senior fraud prevention has become more urgent. According to the FBI's 2025 Internet Crime Complaint Center report, adults age 60 and older filed 201,266 complaints and reported $7.748 billion in losses. Complaints increased 37% from 2024, while reported losses jumped 59%. The average reported loss among complainants 60+ was approximately $38,500, and 12,444 complainants reported losing more than $100,000. Why Older Adults Stand Out in the Fraud DataThe FBI's numbers are striking when compared with other age groups. Age Group 2025 IC3 Complaints Reported Losses 60+ 201,266 $7.75 billion 50 to 59 124,820 $3.68 billion 40 to 49 167,066 $2.96 billion 30 to 39 153,293 $1.74 billion 20 to 29 112,069 $563 million Adults 60+ reported both the highest complaint count and the largest dollar loss among the age categories shown in the FBI's 2025 report. But that should not be interpreted as meaning older adults are simply more gullible.The FBI notes that criminals may target older people because they believe potential victims have accumulated savings, own valuable assets, spend more time alone, or are more willing to engage with unsolicited communications. Modern scams are also increasingly sophisticated.Investment Scams Took the Most MoneyAmong adults 60+, investment fraud produced approximately $3.52 billion in reported losses in 2025, making it the costliest individual crime category for this age group. These scams may begin through: Social media Dating apps Text messages Investment groups Online advertisements Someone claiming to be an investment expert Cryptocurrency frequently appears in these schemes. Complaints from people 60+ that involved cryptocurrency totaled more than $4.3 billion in reported losses, although cryptocurrency is a descriptor that can overlap with several different fraud categories. A convincing website may even show an account balance growing steadily.The problem becomes obvious only when the victim tries to withdraw the supposed profits. The criminal may suddenly demand taxes, fees, or another deposit before disappearing with the money. The FBI describes this pattern as common in cryptocurrency investment fraud. Tech Support Scams Remain ExpensiveA message appears on the computer:WARNING: Your bank information has been compromised. Call immediately.The phone number connects to someone who sounds professional and helpful.That is exactly the setup criminals want.Adults 60+ reported more than 21,000 tech and customer support complaints in 2025, with losses exceeding $1 billion. The supposed technician may ask for remote access to the computer, direct the victim to move money, or claim that funds must be transferred to a "safe account."Legitimate security does not require blindly following financial instructions from someone who unexpectedly contacted you.Grandparent Scams Are Becoming Harder to RecognizeThe traditional grandparent scam relies on panic.A caller claims to be a child, grandchild, attorney, police officer, or hospital employee. There has supposedly been an accident, arrest, or other emergency.Then comes the pressure:Do not tell anyone. Send money now.The FBI advises people receiving this type of call to resist pressure, hang up, and independently contact the relative or another family member to verify what happened. Today, there is another complication.Artificial intelligence can imitate a person's voice using audio obtained online. The FTC warns that a caller may therefore sound remarkably similar to the relative they are impersonating. The safest response is still to hang up and contact the supposed family member using a phone number you already know. Create a Family Safe WordOne low-tech defense can be surprisingly useful.Choose a private family code word or phrase.Every close family member should know it, but it should not be something posted publicly or easily guessed from social media.If someone calls claiming to be your grandson and urgently needs money, ask:"What's our family safe word?"AARP recommends this strategy specifically as protection against increasingly convincing AI-assisted family emergency scams. The code word should be only one layer of protection, however.Even if the caller knows personal details, verify the emergency independently before sending money.Five Rules That Can Stop Many ScamsFamilies do not need sophisticated cybersecurity training to adopt useful defenses.1. Urgency Means Slow Down2. Verify Through a Different Channel3. Never Trust Caller ID Alone4. Be Suspicious of Unusual Payment Instructions5. Never Keep a Financial Emergency SecretIf Money Has Already Been Sent, Move FastEmbarrassment can cost valuable time.If you realize that money may have been sent to a scammer, contact your financial institution immediately and ask whether the transaction can be stopped or recalled. Then report the incident to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.The FBI emphasizes that time matters when attempting to freeze fraudulently transferred money. There is evidence that quick reporting can make a difference.In 2025, the FBI's Financial Fraud Kill Chain process was initiated in 642 incidents involving victims age 60+, representing about $65.4 million in reported losses. The process helped freeze approximately $32.9 million in those particular incidents. That does not mean half of all senior fraud losses are recovered. These were selected cases where the FBI's rapid financial-intervention process could be initiated.The lesson is simpler:Report suspected fraud as quickly as possible.Watch Out for the Second ScamLosing money once can make someone a target again.The FBI reports an increase in recovery scams, where criminals claim they can retrieve money previously lost to fraud. Adults 60+ reported 2,529 such complaints in 2025, involving roughly $540.5 million in losses, though the FBI notes those loss figures may include money lost in the original scams that prompted contact with the supposed recovery service. Someone claiming to be an attorney, government employee, investigator, or recovery company may say:"We found your stolen cryptocurrency.""We recovered your investment.""We just need a fee before returning the money."That may simply be another fraud attempt.Families Can Make Fraud Prevention RoutineFraud prevention works better when it becomes a normal family conversation instead of something discussed only after money disappears.Consider agreeing on a few family rules: Use a private safe word for emergencies. Never send large sums based on one phone call. Call another family member before responding to an emergency request. Verify banks and government agencies independently. Talk openly about new online relationships and investments. Never shame someone for almost falling for a scam. Scams are intentionally designed to manipulate fear, trust, love, hope, and urgency.The right response is not embarrassment.It is verification.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow much did older Americans lose to online fraud in 2025?People age 60 and older reported approximately $7.748 billion in losses through the FBI's IC3 in 2025, 59% more than in 2024. Which scam costs seniors the most money?Investment fraud was the largest individual loss category for people 60+, accounting for approximately $3.52 billion in reported losses in 2025. What is a family code word?It is a private word or phrase known only to trusted family members. If someone calls claiming to be a relative in an emergency, asking for the phrase can provide an additional way to challenge the caller's identity. Can scammers copy someone's voice?Yes. The FTC warns that criminals can use AI voice cloning to imitate a loved one's voice during family-emergency scams. Independently contacting the real person remains important. What should someone do immediately after sending money to a scammer?Contact the financial institution immediately, request a recall or other available intervention, preserve transaction details, and file an IC3 complaint as soon as possible.

BOULDER, Colo. (June 2026) Frasier, a nonprofit senior living community, has awarded $101,900 in grants to five local organizations that provide essential services for older adults in Boulder County. The funding, distributed through the Frasier Community Resource Fund, will support projects addressing food insecurity, housing instability and healthcare access for underserved seniors.

The 2026 grant recipients include:Boulder Housing Partners: The $17,450 grant will be used to upgrade and replace equipment in Golden Wests kitchen and also purchase and install emergency generators and battery storage systems at 6 affordable senior housing complexes.Circle of Care: The $25,000 grant will assist a program that brings disadvantaged seniors to concerts, using tickets donated by event organizers. For seniors with disabilities, the organization has an ADA Accessible van to transport them to concerts; this grant will pay for an ADA trained driver, insurance, fuel, and maintenance.Community Food Share: The $17,450 grant will support food purchasing for a program that delivers food to homebound seniors, helping to bridge the gaps in CFSs existing funding month-to-month. It will provide reliable access to quality protein along with seasonally fresh and organic vegetables from local farmsPresbyterian Manor: The $17,000 grant will help combat food insecurity of Presbyterian Manor residents by subsidizing the cost of three hot meals per week. The funds will partially replace lost funding from Boulder County and allow the continuation of their partnership with Community Table Kitchen, a program of Bridge House. TRU Community Care: The $25,000 grant will allow TRU to purchase 25 new GrandPad units for seniors with the greatest need. These easy-to-use devices bring personalized medical care to homebound seniors on Medicaid and lessen their social isolation.
