How to Scam-Proof Your Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Holiday Season
|
Q. My neighbor, Kathryn, was the victim of a COVID-19 grandparent scam recently. She was contacted by a criminal who posed as her panicked grandson in need of thousands of dollars quickly for an emergency hospital bill. Of course, she sent the money to help him, later finding out that it was a scam. I would like to warn others out there about scams that are happening now, so
this doesn’t happen to another friend or loved one, but I don’t know much about them. You have answered lots of questions about scams in the past. What scams are prevalent right now during the COVID-19 pandemic and the holiday season, and how can seniors scam proof their lives? Thanks for your help!

Dear Hayek,
My dad is in the early stages of dementia and I’m concerned about him driving. He’s gotten lost several times because he forgets where he is going. Is there a resource that can help me talk to him and offer suggestions for alternatives to him driving places, especially since he hopes to visit me during the holidays?
Thanks for your help!
