FBI Alert: Adults Over 60 Are Now Scammers' Main Target

Scammers are specifically targeting older Americans — and the FBI says it's no accident. They're picking up the phone more, they're more trusting, and once they fall for a scam once, they get added to a list and targeted again and again. Last year alone, more than 200,000 complaints were filed with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, totaling a staggering $7.5 billion in losses. The red flags? Unusual talk about cryptocurrency, buying gift cards for no reason, or using non-traditional money transfer apps. The FBI says if you or someone you love has been targeted, don't let shame keep you silent — report it fast. Reaching out within 24–48 hours gives the best chance of recovering lost funds.
