For World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, we're joining other government agencies to raise awareness about #ElderAbuse to help you #SlamTheScam! Elder abuse, including financial exploitation and fraud, is a growing problem. The best way to avoid becoming a victim of financial elder abuse? Become an informed investor. Just like with everything else - in investing, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. As you plan your retirement, don’t let fear, desperation or the need to catch up financially push you into hasty investment decisions. Here are a few points to keep in mind when you make any financial decision: ❌ Be wary of anyone who claims they can sell you a product that offers great reward without great risk -- a sure sign of a scam. ❌ Hang up or ignore suspicious calls, texts, or emails. You can also help DOJ #SlamTheScam and stop imposters in their tracks by reporting fraud to ReportFraud.ftc.gov. ❌ Never be afraid to ask questions to understand your investments! Good financial professionals are never pushy, and they’ll never dismiss your concerns. ❌ Don’t be a courtesy victim. Con artists will not hesitate to exploit your good manners. Save courtesy for friends and family members, not potential swindlers! ✅For more information on how to avoid scams and prepare for a secure retirement, check out chapter 5 of our publication “Taking the Mystery Out of Retirement Planning”: https://lnkd.in/eAPRz2aX #WEAAD #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay #FedsFightFraud #WEAAD2024

Meet Bossman (left). He rules Mr. Rogers (right) and the rest of his household with an iron paw. Owner Mike is much more flexible with the people he manages at @USDOL, but does make this same face sometimes before he’s had coffee. #DOLPets
