Chances are, you have probably received one of those flashy letters with big headlines that practically scream “YOU’VE JUST WON A BAZILLION DOLLARS!!!” You begin to get really excited and then you see that really, really tiny print below the headline that reads “You might actually hear this statement if you have the winning number out of the 100 billion numbers we give out, and oh, you must send us $15 in order to get a number in the first place.”

Although this example may be somewhat far-fetched, this type of scam happens everyday. Common "scams” or frauds appear in the form of contests, home repair offers, and credit offers. Unfortunately, fraudulent activities often target senior adults. Some estimates show that the elderly are scammed out of $40 billion each year. This is not because American seniors are less savvy than younger people. Our greatest generation is simply not accustomed to mistrusting people or doubting the credibility of offers they receive. Scammers often use fast, friendly chatter and slick promises to make the consumer feel at ease. This helps scammers convince the consumer that they just can’t pass up the offer.

Credit card offers with phony promises of obtaining credit cards are often targeted at senior adults who have no credit history or a poor one. In one common scenario, the scammer asks the senior to provide them a fee in advance before they can receive a guaranteed credit line. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, the so-called credit organization does not really exist and the victims lose their money. The golden rule to follow when considering any unsolicited offer is that if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is! Other good rules of thumb:

1. Never give out personal information over the phone to an unsolicited caller. This includes your social security number, address, bank account, credit card numbers, phone numbers, or date of birth.

2. If you are considering a card offer from a telemarketer or unsolicited mail, first check with your local Better Business Bureau, or the National Consumer League National Fraud Information Center. These organizations can often give you reports on unscrupulous companies.

3. If money is requested in advance, be wary. Research the company using the resources listed in #2, unless you know for certain that you are dealing with a reputable company.

Senior adults are also at risk for credit discrimination. This seems rather ironic when you consider that older adults tend to have less heavy debt and fewer bankruptcies than younger people. Reduced income and no prior credit history are among the common causes of discrimination as cited by the AARP. But you should know that credit discrimination is against the law, and you can take action if you experience this type of treatment. Review the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) on the FTC's website to find out what you can do.
