Collaboration Needed to Tackle Fraud Crisis, AARP Expert Tells Congress.

Older adults lost $3.4 billion to fraud last year, but crimes often go unreported.

By Natalie Missakian, AARP. Published September 12, 2024.

New technology makes it easier for criminals to prey on older adults, and government, industry and advocates must work together to better protect consumers and support victims, AARP fraud expert Amy Nofziger told Capitol Hill lawmakers Thursday.

“Fraud is constant, and it never rests. It operates 24/7 in our homes and through these devices that we carry in our pockets,” Nofziger said. “Victims' losses have escalated from hundreds and thousands to millions of dollars. Many believe it won’t affect them, but we know this is far from the truth."
