Can we respectfully, and tentatively, suggest a topic of conversation over the Thanksgiving dinner table? The topic: The way scam artists are now having a field day fleecing senior citizens, often by mobile phone or “social” media.
Can I respectfully, and tentatively, suggest a topic of conversation over the Thanksgiving dinner table that doesn’t involve Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, the midterms, abortion, taxes or immigration—and which, furthermore, might actually be useful?
Read: This Thanksgiving weekend, Americans are traveling as if they never heard the words ‘pandemic’ or ‘recession.’ So what’s going on? Danielle Mura, a financial planner and the founder of Spark Financials in Ripon, Calif., suggests using any recent scam emails or mailings to show relatives the warning signs. “For example, it can be as simple as warning them that if they have to give their credit card information for a prize or contest, that is most likely a scam,” she says.
“Write up a script and tape it to the phone, so your loved one can refer to it when they get a spam call,” adds Mura. For example, she says, this can include simple phrases like, “I don’t do business over the phone” or—this is awesome—“I will check with my friend, who is a police officer, first.”The second challenge, which might be even harder, is how to bring this topic up with relatives without making them get defensive, or embarrassed.
