The scams that target older adults most
Six patterns worth recognising. They all work the same way underneath: manufacture urgency, claim authority, and ask you to act before you can check.
Tech support scams
A pop-up or caller claims your computer is infected and asks for remote access. Real companies never cold-call you about a virus.
Impersonation scams
A message that looks like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, your bank, or a government agency, inventing a crisis to rush you.
Grandparent & family emergencies
A frantic call or text claiming a grandchild is in trouble and needs money immediately, kept secret from the rest of the family.
Romance scams
A warm online relationship that slowly turns into requests for money, gift cards, or help "moving funds".
Investment & crypto scams
Guaranteed returns, urgent opportunities, and pressure to move retirement savings into something unfamiliar.
Fake listings & marketplaces
Apartments, rentals, pets, and deals that do not exist, designed to collect a deposit and disappear.
One rule beats all six
