Law enforcement recently conducted the largest ever coordinated sweep of identity fraud cases targeting the elderly. The Justice Department reported that more than 1 million people collectively lost hundreds of millions of dollars through these scams. While phone-based scams might ensnare one senior at a time, email and other online channels allow fraudsters to reach millions of potential victims at once. The FTC also showed that, while scams against the elderly are a concern, younger citizens are equally at risk: 40 percent of millennials in their 20s said they lost money to fraud, compared to 18 percent of those over 70.”]
