Elders are the most respected part of our society, and being scammed by scammed is the most difficult time for them. That's why Daniel Klibanoff has decided to help them by giving tips on it so they can avoid being scammed.

 

Daniel's Guidance To Avoid Scam

  • Do not allow anyone but a trusted family member, friend, or professional financial adviser to handle your personal finances or banking. Do not make a large financial purchase or investment without consulting an independent, trusted loved one or financial adviser.

  • Never give out your PIN, social security number, bank account, Medicare, or credit card over the phone, unless you have initiated contact and know the company that you are speaking to. Never send this information via email. Do not toss any documentation that includes this type of information in the trash. We recommend shredding these types of documents.

  • Get recommendations from friends or family for reputable help or services, such as gardening, housekeeping, or meal prep, which may be entering your home. If you need an in-home care provider, work with an established agency, or request references and get a background check if you are personally hiring someone.

  • Be careful of door-to-door sales. Most reputable companies no longer use this practice.

  • Be cautious of high-pressure sales pitches with too much urgency. Slow down, and don't feel threatened to act immediately.

  • Never sign a contract without clearly understanding the terms of the agreement. And be skeptical of free trial offers and make sure you clearly understand their cancellation policy.

  • Unexpected notifications by phone or email that you have won a trip, prize, or money are typically a hoax. Unless you have specifically entered yourself, contact made in this way should be a red flag.

  • Do not assume that all charity organizations are legitimate. Research a charity before donating.

  • Sign up for identity theft protection to monitor personal and financial information. If there is an issue, this type of protection can aid and assist an individual.
