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.
All crimes that seek to steal money or sensitive information through deception are loathsome. But perhaps the most malicious involve crimes of the heart. By building trust and forging deep emotional connections, scammers can manipulate their victims into making financial decisions they would not normally consider, like investing in cryptocurrency with the false promise of extraordinary returns. The webinar is free and open to members and non-members of all ages. Learn more and register for the April 25 event at https://events.aarp.org/victimspotlight.
