The hidden epidemic

Retirees are losing life savings to scams built specifically for them.

Today's fraud isn't a Nigerian prince email. It's a perfect-sounding "Medicare agent", a polite "bank fraud officer", or a panicked grandchild's voice cloned by AI. Most retirees have no system to spot or stop it.
