Investment Updates

You work hard for many years in order to reach that wonderful goal at the end of your career: retirement. But when you do finally retire, danger can lurk behind many of the phone calls and emails you may receive. Scams may be targeted at senior citizens and are the work of crooks who will try to rob seniors of the money they have saved to enjoy their retirement years.

You don't have be retired very long before these problems can begin. You may even start getting come-ons before you retire. To enjoy your retirement years, you need to understand how scam artists operate, who they target, and the many types of scams they operate. Scam artists even buy and sell "sucker" lists of the names of people who have been taken in once or more by scams.

Many of the scams attempt to extract personal information from you, such as your bank account and Social Security numbers, which can be used to steal your identity and money. Never give that information in response to an email or a phone call.
