Hello Towson,

Tips to Help Seniors identify and Avoid Common Online Scams

Elderly residents in Maryland are increasingly vulnerable to a wide range of online scams designed to steal their money and personal information. As this population often has significant savings or pensions and may be less familiar with rapidly evolving technology, scammers have intensified efforts to exploit them. In 2024 alone, Maryland recorded over 40,000 fraud reports with losses exceeding $200 million, and adults over 60 have borne a disproportionate share of these losses, including average individual losses of around $83,000. Learn about the specific types of scams to watch out for and other tips on how to you or your senior female members can avoid being scammed.
