FBI Media Alert: Older New Mexicans Lost More Than $7 Million in Online Frauds and Scams

New Mexicans over the age of 60 lost more than $7 million in online frauds and scams last year, according to a special report from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

IC3 said 837 of the state’s senior residents lost a total of $7,127,910 in 2020.

More than half of that amount—$3,880,981—was lost due to confidence fraud, most commonly known as romance scams.

COVID-19 restrictions forced more older people to use the Internet to shop and socialize, exposing them to scammers and criminals.

“The FBI and our partners work to investigate scams and crimes against older adults, but the keys are prevention and awareness,” said Special Agent in Charge Raul Bujanda of the Albuquerque FBI Division. “We urge our older residents as well as their families to educate themselves about online frauds and report any cases to the Internet Crime Complaint Center via ic3.gov.”

If you believe you or someone you know may have been a victim of elder fraud, contact the FBI at 505-889-1300 or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. You can also file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, ic3.gov.

Why Older Adults are Vulnerable

As a growing part of the U.S. population, older people are an attractive target for fraudsters and scammers.

This demographic tends to have more financial stability, which makes them a target for criminals looking to make a quick profit. Older Americans may be more easily intimidated or lonely, making it harder for them to get help.

In a romance scam, criminals pose as interested romantic partners on social media or dating websites to capitalize on their elderly victims’ desire to find companions.

Learn More and Protect Your Loved Ones

Older people may know to be wary of physical crimes (like always locking their doors). But they may not have the same level of awareness to protect themselves against scams. That’s why families and caregivers should be aware of the risks and let people know how to report suspected crimes.

Visit the FBI elder fraud page to learn about common fraud schemes that target older people as well as practical tips on how to protect yourself or your loved ones from scammers.

I am not sure if this is appropriate for our site but sometimes do you just think - what the hell is going on.

Subject: ...and, it's getting worse...

David Lawrence Ramsey III is an American personal finance advisor, radio show host, author, and businessman. He is an evangelical Christian, and hosts the nationally syndicated radio
program The Dave Ramsey Show.

- This morning, I realized that everything is about to change.  No
matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be

- You can't justify this insanity.  We have become a nation that has
lost its collective mind.  We see other countries going Socialist and
collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.

- Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans
are in America .

- People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a
female President.

- Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against
Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.

- Some people are held responsible for things that happened before
they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what
they are doing right now.

- Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping
them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

- After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

- People who have never been to college should pay the debts of
college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

- Immigrants with Covid, tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better
be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

- Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.

- $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

- And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"!

- Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China .

- We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but
killing innocent babies is right.

4TH OF JULY 2021,  THE FOLLOWING WAS RECEIVED FROM THE V.A 

COVID-19 vaccine variants/importance of 2nd dose

Research tells us that the Delta variant, which has caused many hospitalizations and deaths in India, spreads more easily and quickly than other variants.

Monday, June 28, 2021

Protecting Veterans, our staff, and those in the community remains VA’s top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of that commitment, we are currently following many COVID-19 variants, and we expect to see more variants arise. What is of critical importance is having as many people vaccinated as possible. Time is of the essence!

Research tells us that the Delta variant, which has caused many hospitalizations and deaths in India, spreads more easily and quickly than other variants. According to the CDC, there is additional concern that the medical treatments we are using to treat COVID-19 patients may be less effective against this variant. Over the past month, the Delta variant has rapidly spread and expanded in the United States, and we believe it may soon become the dominant virus strain.

Research also shows that COVID-19 vaccines offer good protection against the variants we know most about, and widespread vaccination can prevent unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations. We believe that the newer types of vaccines we have now are true “pandemic fighters” and, by design, are well suited to adding new “targets” to fight these variants.

Have you gotten your first dose and don’t think you need your second? Consider this: The Delta variant most severely impacts those who are either unvaccinated or only received their first of two-dose vaccine series, such as Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna. If someone is late for their second dose, they should still get it. VA will provide the second doses to employees, Veterans or anyone who qualifies under the Save Lives Act, such as spouses and caregivers, no matter where they received their first dose, if that is more convenient.

If you are undecided about getting the vaccine and need more information to make a decision, check out our vaccine questions page, which includes videos, downloadable information, and frequently asked question. Time is of the essence.
