With millions of seniors targeted yearly and billions lost in 2024, experts warn that decades of trust in phone communication make this generation uniquely vulnerable. Scammers use urgency and legitimacy to hook victims, often keeping them on the line. Experts urge: never share personal info over the phone—hang up immediately if asked. If someone claims to be a family member in distress, call them back on a known number. Janet recovered her Medicare number and now waits for messages before trusting calls—learning a hard but vital lesson in today’s scam-heavy world.
