Scammers Target Seniors With Gold and Crypto Scams | Rochester News

from Rochester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New York State Police warn of a dangerous crypto and gold scam targeting older adults—scammers build trust, then lure victims into cashing out savings or buying gold, only to vanish with their money. Legit institutions never ask you to buy gold as an investment—ignore any such requests. If you suspect you’re being targeted, cut off contact immediately and report it to the FBI’s IC3 at ic3.gov. Stay alert: these scams prey on trust for devastating financial losses. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
