Attorney General Ashley Moody today hosted a Senior Scam Seminar at the On Top of the World Cultural Center in Marion County and released a new senior-protection resource. Attended by more than 500 Florida seniors, the educational symposium focused on senior fraud and how to avoid becoming a victim of cybercrime and schemes related to cryptocurrency, financial crime and exploitation. At the symposium, Attorney General Moody released Scams at a Glance: Grandparent Grifts. This new resource aims to help Florida seniors know how to avoid and properly report grandparent schemes. In these schemes, imposters pose as a grandchild and call a target claiming to be in an emergency situation and then request money.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “Today, we held a Senior Scam Seminar to educate hundreds of older Floridians about common and emerging scams. During the seminar, we released our Scams at a Glance: Grandparents Grifts. This new resource explains grandparent scams and provides tips to help older Floridians spot and avoid these imposter scams.” Continue reading
