How To Protect Your Parents From Financial Fraudsters

In this episode, I’m revisiting the critical topic of financial fraud, which I last discussed back in episode 144. This time, I’m bringing a fresh perspective on how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from increasingly sophisticated scams. Cybercrime losses topped $12.5 billion in 2023 alone, with over $3.4 billion of that lost by people over 60, so the stakes have never been higher.
Listen in as I share truly harrowing stories of real victims, including one physician’s parents who tragically lost over $2 million from their retirement accounts due to a fraudulent scheme. I’ll also discuss why it’s so important to stay skeptical, the value of working with a financial advisor, and why reporting any suspicious activity to law enforcement is absolutely critical.
