FRAUD I CORONAVIRUS FRAUD SCHEMES I COVID-19 SCAMS I ELDER ABUSE I SENIOR FRAUD – Coronavirus Fraud Scams Aimed at 60+ Community April 30, 2020 Undoubtably there is an inflow of fraudulent Coronavirus ploys, however, the bulk of these Covid-19 fraud scams are aimed at the 60+ community. In response to the increased fraud complaints the Federal Trade Commission (‘FTC’) has issued warnings directly to the 60+ community regarding these fraud schemes. Specifically, the FTC published an article warning seniors that scammers are calling or robocalling the elderly trying to secure personal information. The two specific elderly fraud scams highlighted by the FTC include: (1) offering false hope with alleged fraudulent products such as “Covid-19 at home testing kits”; and (2) seeking financial information such as social security numbers and bank information to assist seniors in securing “Covid-19 relief funds”. The best way to protect against fraud, is to keep personal information secure and confidential. If you receive a coronavirus call or robocall the FTC has issued a recommended protocol to follow: 1. “Don’t be rushed. Whatever the call, email, text, or social media post is about, remember that scammers try to rush you. Legit people don’t. 2. Check it out. Before you act on something or share it – stop. Do some research. Do the facts back up the story? 3. Pass it on. If you get offered something great, or you’re worried about something alarming: talk to someone you trust before you act. What do they think? 4. Keep in touch with the FTC. Sign up for Consumer Alerts to help spot scams: ftc.gov/subscribe. And watch for the latest at ftc.gov/coronavirus. 5. Report scams to the FTC. Go to ftc.gov/complaint. Your report can help us shut the scammers down.” To see this discussed article on the official Federal Trade Commission website, click here: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/03/60-and-over-time-covid-19-read For further articles discussing senior fraud and elderly abuse please see the links below: • FINANCIAL FRAUD I SENIOR FRAUD – SENIORS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FINANCIAL FRAUD – AVOIDING SENIOR FINANCIAL FRAUD: http://dianalegal.com/financial-fraud-i-senior-fraud-seniors-more-susceptible-to-financial-fraud-avoiding-senior-financial-fraud/ • FRAUD I ELDER ABUSE – ELDERLY MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FINANCIAL FRAUD: http://dianalegal.com/fraud-i-elder-abuse-elderly-more-susceptible-to-financial-fraud/ • FRAUD I PONZI SCHEME I ELDER ABUSE – SAN DIEGAN PONZI SCHEMER FRAUDULENT ACQUIRES MILLIONS FROM LOCALS AND ELDERLY VICTIMS: http://dianalegal.com/fraud-i-ponzi-scheme-i-elder-abuse-san-diegan-ponzi-schemer-fraudulent-acquires-millions-from-locals-and-elderly-victims/ • FINANCIAL ELDER ABUSE: http://dianalegal.com/financial-elder-abuse/ • FRAUD I MORTGAGE FRAUD – 3 ARRESTED IN $7 MILLION CALIFORNIA MORTGAGE FRAUD SCHEME TARGETING THE ELDERLY, 3 VICTIMS LIVE IN SAN DIEGO: http://dianalegal.com/fraud-i-mortgage-fraud-3-arrested-in-7-million-california-mortgage-fraud-scheme-targeting-the-elderly-3-victims-live-in-san-diego/ For further articles discussing Coronavirus and the unprecedented increase in fraud please see the links below: • FRAUD I CVIRUS FRAUD I COVID-19 SCAMS – SCAMS AND FRAUDULENT PLOYS AMID CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC http://dianalegal.com/fraud-i-coronavirus-fraud-i-covid-19-scams-scams-and-fraudulent-ploys-amid-coronavirus-pandemic/ • FRAUD I CORONAVIRUS FRAUD SCHEMES I COVID-19 SCAMS – THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS HAS CREATED AN INCREASE IN FRAUD AND THE FTC IS WARNING CONSUMERS: http://dianalegal.com/fraud-i-coronavirus-fraud-schemes-i-covid-19-scams-the-coronavirus-crisis-has-created-an-increase-in-fraud-and-the-ftc-is-warning-consumers/ • FRAUD I CORONAVIRUS FRAUD SCHEMES I COVID-19 SCAMS – FRAUDULENT CORONAVIRUS “POP-UP” TESTING SITES: http://dianalegal.com/fraud-i-coronavirus-fraud-schemes-i-covid-19-scams-fraudulent-coronavirus-pop-up-testing-sites/ • FRAUD I CORONAVIRUS FRAUD I SAN DIEGO I COVID-19 SCAMS – SAN DIEGO PHYSICIAN MARKETING CORONAVIRUS “MIRACLE CURE” DRUGS IS CHARGED WITH MAIL FRAUD: http://dianalegal.com/fraud-i-coronavirus-fraud-i-san-diego-i-covid-19-scams-san-diego-physician-marketing-coronavirus-miracle-cure-drugs-is-charged-with-mail-fraud/ For further articles discussing Coronavirus and Employment please see the links below: • WRONGFUL TERMINATION I EMPLOYMENT I CORONAVIRUS – TERMINATED IN VIOLATION OF CALIFORNIA’S STAY-AT-HOME ORDER: http://dianalegal.com/wrongful-termination-i-employment-i-coronavirus-terminated-in-violation-of-californias-stay-at-home-order/ • WRONGFUL TERMINATION I EMPLOYMENT I CORONAVIRUS – CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES WRONGFULLY TERMINATED BECAUSE OF COVID-19: http://dianalegal.com/WRONGFUL-TERMINATION-I-EMPLOYMENT-I-CORONAVIRUS-CALIFORNIA-EMPLOYEES-WRONGFULLY-TERMINATED-BECAUSE-OF-COVID-19/ • WRONGFUL TERMINATION I EMPLOYMENT I CORONAVIRUS – Legal Questions About Coronavirus and Employment: http://dianalegal.com/wrongful-termination-i-employment-i-coronavirus-legal-questions-about-coronavirus-and-employment/ • WRONGFUL TERMINATION I CORONAVIRUS – Employees Bringing An Action For Wrongful Termination Because Of The Coronavirus: http://dianalegal.com/wrongful-termination-i-coronavirus-employees-bringing-an-action-for-wrongful-termination-because-of-the-coronavirus/ Articles discussing Fiduciary Duties exclusively are listed below: • FRAUD I BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY – What Fiduciary Duties Are Owed?
