Cryptocurrency scams have surged in recent years, with billions stolen annually. One of the biggest drivers of this trend? Romance scams. The free, live Fighting Fraud with AARP Connecticut webinar on Friday, April 25, at 12 p.m. will spotlight one victim’s story of romance, loss, and how the experience motivated her to advocate for other victims.
AARP's advocacy volunteers are a distinctive sight, and voice, in the Connecticut State Capitol.
Scams take many forms so being aware and understanding the variety of ways criminals use to steal money can help you stay a step ahead of scams. Scammers may seek payment through hard-to-trace methods with few or no protections including gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, peer-to-peer apps and, more recently, gold bars.
Want to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having your financial matters in order? This is where we can help. AARP is working to empower you with information and resources that can help bring comfort and security for you and your loved ones.

Scammers are continually perfecting their scams, getting more sophisticated, learning new techniques with new technology, and honing their methods to better manipulate their targets. If we really want to keep ourselves - and our money - safe from fraud, we must all come to terms with one thing: our personal information is likely already out there.
AARP is giving Congress 100+ reasons to prioritize a tax credit for family caregivers in the first 100 days of the new presidency. Add your reason to the list. We’ll share your reasons with Congress so that they understand what family caregivers experience day-in and day-out as they care for their loved ones.
