👉Why it matters - Scammers are now using AI to impersonate tech support, banks, and even government agencies, tricking seniors into moving money into fraudulent “safe accounts.” Losses have already topped $1 billion, with seniors hit hardest.
📣Call to Action - Hang up immediately if someone calls claiming your bank or Social Security account is compromised. Call your bank or the SSA back directly using an official number you know is real.

✅Quick Safety Tip of the Day
If someone pressures you to act right away with your money, it’s a scam—always pause and verify first.
