Today is #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay. Throughout the year, the FBI works to #KeepSeniorsSafe and educate people on steps they can take to protect themselves from elder fraud. In 2019, the IC3 received 68,013 complaints of elder fraud with losses of more than $835 million. #WEAAD 
#DYK older people often have “nest eggs,” own homes, and have excellent credit—all of which make them attractive to scammers? If you're 60 or older, especially if you're an older woman living alone, scammers might target you. Learn the signs of scams at ow.ly/tYjQ50A8cIW.
Older Americans are less likely to report fraud because they don’t know how to report it, are embarrassed, or don’t know they have been scammed. Don't be ashamed to report elder fraud and file a complaint at ic3.gov. #KeepSeniorsSafe
