Take Care with Medicare Renewal!
It's Medicare Open Enrollment, and now is the time to take a closer look at health insurance coverage for yourself and your loved one. But as you review your options, there's something else to keep in mind: scammers are also taking advantage of this busy enrollment season!
It's Scamming Season!
During this recent political primary season you were likely to be inundated with phone calls or voice mails, emails, and texts from various people asking you to get involved, give your support, to take action, and so on. It can all be a little annoying, but when a random communication contains a hidden outreach from a scammer, it can be potentially devastating.
Home Is Where the Tech Is
Home is where the heart is—and, likely, where your loved one would like to live out their remaining years. And technology is here to help.
Slam the Scam!
Older adults are often the target for scammers because the criminals believe that they have larger savings accounts. But low-income older Americans are also targeted, too, because the elderly tend to be less savvy about new technologies such as email, texts, and mobile phones.
