Number of older adults who lost $100,000 or more to fraud has tripled since 2020, FTC says

I can't tellyouhoaw many times I have had this discussion with my inlaws...they are from the generation of trust where a handshake meant something...they want to trust everyone...My aunt had gone to the bank and gotten a $20000 cashiers check and mailed it to a fraudster...her caregiver was on her bank account and went to the bank immediately and stopped the check, closed the account and opened a new one saving her from losing that money...they will try every trick in the book.
