When Fraud Comes Knocking, Don’t Answer
The NCUA Report, Debbie Matz Chairman
Fixing his roof should have cost $7,000. But 88 yearold Leon Bennett parted with $37,000 before a
professional roofer even showed up with a ladder.
only after his credit union noticed a series of large checks
he had addressed to unfamiliar names. Staff at that credit
union took immediate action.
Like many seniors, he fell victim to a door-to-door
home improvement scam. It cost him a significant
chunk of the retirement savings he had built through a
lifetime of hard work.
NCUA’s consumer website, MyCreditUnion.gov, provides
life-saving advice to help members identify and avoid
fraud- especially scams targeting seniors.
Unfortunately, Mr. Bennett’s divesting loss is not an
isolated case. According to the National Center on
Elder Abuse, scammers target one of every 10 seniors.
Precautions
Scams against seniors are diabolical. They prey on
seniors’ needs with schemes such as:
• Bogus charities;
• Faulty home repairs;
• Fraudulent health care;
• Phantom cemetery plots;
• Phony investments; and
• Supposedly free prizes with huge hidden costs.
As diverse as these schemes are, they all involve
elder abuse-financial exploitation that cost seniors as
much as $3 billion annually. These crimes are a stark
reminder that as hard as today’s seniors have worked
to earn their money, there are con artists working just
as hard to take it from them.
Never volunteer personal or financial information
unless you initiate the exchange. In particular, members
should never volunteer their date of birth, account
numbers, or Social Security numbers.
Never let a seller overcharge you for a product or
service you need. Get more than one estimate before
committing to pay a price.
Never let a seller pressure you to sign a document
you don’t understand. Reputable purveyors of goods
and services should provide time for consumers to ask
questions and seek information.
If a scam is suspected, it should be reported to the
police immediately. By reporting fraud or suspected
fraud, there is a better chance of recovering any losses
and preventing another victim.
The criminals who target Mr. Bennett were stopped
