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.
The AARP Massachusetts Advisory Council (AC) provides strategic direction for AARP at the state level. Each member brings uniquely valuable skills and experience to AARP.
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.
