August 21, 2023 7:22 pm

#elder­ly­care #elder­care­giver­scams #seniorscams. #sca­malert #spotas­cam

Unfor­tu­nate­ly, senior care scams are alive and well. In 2022, the elder­ly pop­u­la­tion in the U.S. was heav­i­ly tar­get­ed by var­i­ous types of care­giv­er scams. Adults over the age of 60 report­ed 88,262 com­plaints to the FBI’s Inter­net Crime Com­plaint Cen­ter, suf­fer­ing a total loss of $3.1 bil­lion. This har­row­ing fig­ure marks an 84% increase in loss­es com­pared to those report­ed in 2021. The aver­age loss per vic­tim was over $35,000, and trag­i­cal­ly, more than 5,000 vic­tims lost in excess of $100,000.

Cal­i­for­nia, being at the fore­front of this issue, leads the nation in the num­ber of elder­ly vic­tims of fraud. The col­lec­tive amount of report­ed loss­es incurred in Cal­i­for­nia alone amount­ed to over $624 mil­lion in 2022.

In the face of these alarm­ing sta­tis­tics, it’s essen­tial to rec­og­nize the four main types of care­giv­er scams that are pre­dom­i­nant­ly affect­ing our com­mu­ni­ties:

1.Financial Scams: Most scams, if not all, are dri­ven by the lure of finances and rich­es. Unscrupu­lous indi­vid­u­als may deceive or manip­u­late the elder­ly to gain access to their funds.

2. Unqual­i­fied Care­giv­er: These scams involve indi­vid­u­als pos­ing as trained care­givers but lack­ing the nec­es­sary qual­i­fi­ca­tions. They may pro­vide sub­stan­dard care, lead­ing to health and safe­ty risks.

3. Abu­sive Care­givers: This is an espe­cial­ly fright­en­ing thought as these scam­mers can cause phys­i­cal or emo­tion­al harm to the elder­ly indi­vid­u­als under their care.

4. Bogus Job and Nan­ny Scams: Some scam­mers adver­tise fake care­giv­er jobs, lur­ing peo­ple into var­i­ous fraud­u­lent schemes, such as the theft of per­son­al infor­ma­tion or mon­ey.

Edu­ca­tion and aware­ness are vital in com­bat­ing these types of scams. Please watch this video to learn more about how to iden­ti­fy, pre­vent, and report care­giv­er scams, and help pro­tect the vul­ner­a­ble mem­bers of our soci­ety.

Beware: Funer­al Home Scam Tar­gets Vic­tims Through Obit­u­ar­ies

August 13, 2023 4:00 pm

#funer­al­home­scam #obit­u­aryscam #sca­malert #cur­rentscams

In recent times, a dis­turb­ing trend has emerged involv­ing scam­mers exploit­ing the vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty of griev­ing fam­i­lies. The funer­al home scam preys on those who have recent­ly lost a loved one. Scam­mers comb through obit­u­ar­ies, iden­ti­fy­ing poten­tial vic­tims, and then make decep­tive calls, pos­ing as funer­al home employ­ees. Their claim? The griev­ing fam­i­ly owes addi­tion­al mon­ey for funer­al ser­vices. This despi­ca­ble scheme has been on the rise, caus­ing immea­sur­able dis­tress dur­ing an already chal­leng­ing time.

Griev­ing fam­i­lies already face immense emo­tion­al and finan­cial bur­dens, and the funer­al home scam adds an extra lay­er of heart­less­ness. Scam­mers use the details from obit­u­ar­ies to lend an air of cred­i­bil­i­ty to their deceit­ful calls. Pos­ing as com­pas­sion­ate funer­al home staff, they inform fam­i­lies that there are out­stand­ing pay­ments for ser­vices ren­dered. This manip­u­la­tion preys on the nat­ur­al desire to give a loved one a prop­er farewell, mak­ing vic­tims more sus­cep­ti­ble to the scam.

The funer­al home scam is a stark reminder that scam­mers can stoop to unimag­in­able lows. These fraud­u­lent calls can catch griev­ing fam­i­lies off guard, lead­ing them to believe that they are falling behind on pay­ments they nev­er owed in the first place. The emo­tion­al toll is immense, as vic­tims grap­ple with the idea that they are some­how dis­re­spect­ing the mem­o­ry of their loved ones by not pay­ing up.

As this scam gains trac­tion, it’s essen­tial to remain vig­i­lant and informed. Funer­al homes typ­i­cal­ly have trans­par­ent billing process­es, and they do not con­duct busi­ness through unso­licit­ed phone calls. Fam­i­lies should nev­er give out per­son­al or finan­cial infor­ma­tion over the phone with­out ver­i­fy­ing the caller’s legit­i­ma­cy. Shar­ing infor­ma­tion about this scam with­in com­mu­ni­ties can help pro­tect oth­ers from falling vic­tim to this heart­less ploy.

Stamp Out Scams Inc., a non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion based in Cal­i­for­nia, is com­mit­ted to rais­ing aware­ness about such scams and help­ing indi­vid­u­als avoid falling prey to them. Our mis­sion aligns with safe­guard­ing vul­ner­a­ble indi­vid­u­als from var­i­ous fraud­u­lent schemes, includ­ing the funer­al home scam. By spread­ing knowl­edge and pro­mot­ing cau­tion, we aim to empow­er indi­vid­u­als to pro­tect them­selves and their loved ones.

In con­clu­sion, the funer­al home scam prey­ing on griev­ing fam­i­lies is a dis­tress­ing exam­ple of how scam­mers exploit emo­tions for finan­cial gain. By stay­ing informed, remain­ing cau­tious, and shar­ing this infor­ma­tion, we can col­lec­tive­ly work towards dis­man­tling such heart­less schemes. Let’s stand togeth­er to ensure that griev­ing fam­i­lies find solace and sup­port rather than falling vic­tim to deceit­ful tac­tics. …

BEWARE OF THE REFUND AND RECOVERY SCAM: Scam­mers Can Strike Twice!

June 30, 2023 8:00 pm

#Scams #Online­Fraud #Refun­dAn­dRecov­eryScam #Cyber­Se­cu­ri­ty #StaySafeOn­line

Today’s video deals with anoth­er emerg­ing scan, The Refund and Recov­ery Scam! We will unrav­el the intri­cate work­ings of the Refund and Recov­ery Scam, show­cas­ing how crafty crim­i­nals can swin­dle unsus­pect­ing vic­tims not just once, but twice!

Unfor­tu­nate­ly, there are numer­ous web­sites online which pro­fess to pro­vide these ser­vices. In short, they claim to be able to recov­er funds vic­tims have lost to scam­mers. These scam recov­ery web­sites make bold state­ments such as “…if you have been duped by the likes of a scam­mers, reach out to us and our experts will get your mon­ey back.” Or even bold­er claims such as “has accom­plished 92% win rate glob­al­ly.”

The pro­lif­er­a­tion of refund and recov­ery scam ser­vices on the web, tru­ly chal­lenge all com­mon sense! How can mon­ey or pros­e­cu­tion be insti­tut­ed against per­son or per­sons from parts unknown? Now it is com­mon knowl­edge that many scams, espe­cial­ly romance scams, come from places like Nige­ria and Ghana in West Africa. Many of these scams are car­ried out by gangs of scam­mers. The mon­ey is divid­ed among the gang mem­bers. The thought of a com­pa­ny being able to recov­er lost “scam” mon­ey from these indi­vid­u­als defies log­ic. Where would you start, and where would you end? Then, would this mon­ey be just lay­ing around in a sock draw­er, in a retire­ment account, or in a long-term CD. No, the mon­ey is long gone, and the scam­mer is on to the next vic­tim!

In the refund and recov­ery scam, the scam typ­i­cal­ly starts with vic­tims falling prey to an ini­tial scam. It could be your every­day gar­den vari­ety scam like romance scams. Then, like a phoenix from the ash­es, anoth­er scam­mer (or some­times the same one) swoops in, claim­ing to be a ‘recov­ery agent.’ They promise to help you retrieve your lost funds, only to trick you into pay­ing ‘fees’ or ‘tax­es,’ exac­er­bat­ing your loss. They adver­tise all over the web with sites that look pret­ty legit­i­mate and pro­fes­sion­al.

If you come across one of the many sites on the Inter­net offer­ing Refund and Recov­ery Ser­vices. Be very care­ful! First, take the time and ana­lyze the whole site. It may look pro­fes­sion­al at first glance. As you ana­lyze these sites, you will soon see the poor vocab­u­lary, bold claims and made-up sta­tis­tics through­out the whole site. These are only some of the many red-flags on these sites.

One of the refund and recov­ery sites I delved into, look very pro­fes­sion­al. I was actu­al­ly quite curi­ous. How­ev­er, after of few min­utes of look­ing through the site, I noticed numer­ous gram­mat­i­cal errors, bad vocab­u­lary and a host of oth­er issues. I looked up the busi­ness address and found it was a oper­at­ing out of a vir­tu­al office. They also pro­vid­ed numer­ous busi­ness address­es around the world. With a host of vir­tu­al offices around the world, it’s easy for a busi­ness to look like a glob­al busi­ness. How­ev­er, if you take the time to Google the address­es list­ed for this busi­ness, or ANY ques­tion­able online busi­ness, you will find most oper­ate out of vir­tu­al offices or mail drop loca­tion. Does this make them ille­git­i­mate? Absolute­ly not. But it def­i­nite­ly rais­es some red-flags.

Stay tuned till the end, as we share essen­tial tips on how to pro­tect your­self from these scams, detect red flags ear­ly, and the steps to take if you ever find your­self vic­tim­ized. This is the scam after the scam!

Top Lies Used By Romance Scam­mers: The Top Tricks Used To Scam Love!

June 23, 2023 5:00 pm

The top lies used by romance scam­mers are exposed. In today’s video, we delve into the murky world of online romance scams, unveil­ing the most com­mon decep­tions used by these unscrupu­lous char­ac­ters.

Our data comes straight from the Fed­er­al Trade Com­mis­sion (FTC), which has metic­u­lous­ly com­piled a list of the top lies used by romance scam­mers.

Top of the lie list, used by 24% of romance scam­mers, is the heart­string-pulling tale of per­son­al tragedy: the scam­mer, or some­one close to them, is suf­fer­ing from a seri­ous ill­ness, has been injured, or even land­ed in jail. Their aim? To exploit your com­pas­sion and will­ing­ness to lend a help­ing hand.

Next, we look at the “finan­cial guru” scam, mak­ing up 18% of cas­es. Here, romance scam­mers pose as invest­ment tutors, promis­ing to turn your small sav­ings into a for­tune overnight. They may seem knowl­edge­able, but their only real aim is to emp­ty your bank account.

Tied at 18% is the false mil­i­tary per­sona and the “impor­tant deliv­ery” deceit. By pre­tend­ing to be a sol­dier on a remote assign­ment or a couri­er with a cru­cial deliv­ery, romance scam­mers play on your patri­o­tism or sense of adven­ture to gain your trust.

We also touch on the “whirl­wind romance” scam, where love-struck fraud­sters pro­pose mar­riage despite hav­ing nev­er met you in per­son. The promise of a sud­den, excit­ing change in life can be hard to resist.

Fur­ther down the list, we explore the nar­ra­tive of sud­den wealth, often in the form of gold. Romance scam­mers claim­ing they need your help to secure or share this wealth are mere­ly bait­ing the hook with the lure of greed.

The minor­i­ty of romance scam­mers, 6%, choose the life of iso­la­tion on an oil rig or ship as their back­sto­ry. Their phys­i­cal absence keeps you emo­tion­al­ly invest­ed while con­ve­nient­ly excus­ing them from ever meet­ing you.

Final­ly, we shed light on the chill­ing 3% who exploit their vic­tims’ trust to the extreme, solic­it­ing pri­vate pho­tos with the intent to black­mail.

Remem­ber, this video is not just about shar­ing shock­ing sta­tis­tics, it’s about rais­ing aware­ness and arm­ing you with the knowl­edge to stay safe in the dig­i­tal realm. Join us as we explore the dark under­bel­ly of online romance scams. Like, share, and sub­scribe to our chan­nel for more impor­tant updates. Stay vig­i­lant and keep safe online.

June 17, 2023 4:00 pm

#RomanceScam #Online­Fraud #Real­CrimeSto­ries #Sca­mAlert #StaySafeOn­line #peachesster­go

In this video, we unrav­el the heart-wrench­ing sto­ry of an 87-year-old Holo­caust sur­vivor who became a vic­tim of a devi­ous romance scam­mer, los­ing an aston­ish­ing $2.8 mil­lion in the process. This tale of deceit begins with the meet­ing of two indi­vid­u­als on a dat­ing site and morphs into a years-long scheme that shakes our belief in online love. This romance scam­mer lit­er­al­ly deceived this holo­caust sur­vivor out of his life sav­ings, and out of his house.

Our focus is on the romance scam­mer named Peach­es Ster­go. This romance scam­mer is a woman resid­ing in sun­ny Flori­da, who man­aged to play the inno­cent facade of a car­ing part­ner, all while slow­ly and sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly drain­ing her vic­tim’s life sav­ings. This dis­turb­ing series of events unfold­ed over a span of six to sev­en years, with the vic­tim, a res­i­dent of Man­hat­tan, none the wis­er until it was too late.

Fed­er­al pros­e­cu­tors from the South­ern Dis­trict of New York recent­ly brought this case to light, expos­ing the cru­el and cal­cu­lat­ed meth­ods employed by this romance scam­mer. This video aims to not only delve into the specifics of this case but also spread aware­ness about the dan­gers of online scams, espe­cial­ly tar­get­ing vul­ner­a­ble sec­tions of our soci­ety.

Join us as we explore how this heart­break­ing scam unfold­ed, the after­math for the vic­tim, and the even­tu­al legal pro­ceed­ings. The pain and suf­fer­ing inflict­ed by this romance scam­mer are immea­sur­able. This vul­ner­a­ble vic­tim was elder­ly and had already suf­fered immea­sur­able pain and grief dur­ing the holo­caust. Yes, as with all romance scam­mers, this did not mat­ter to Ster­go. She kept exploit­ing this vic­tim, until this was noth­ing left to give.

Build­ing The Per­fect Date Using Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence! Romance Scams

May 8, 2023 12:00 am

In today’s video, we explore whether build­ing the per­fect date using arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence. Is it pos­si­ble to induce a per­son, male or female, into falling in love with some­one who is not human.…but total­ly con­struct­ed using arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence.

We decid­ed to explore this pos­si­bil­i­ty after receiv­ing an e‑mail from a woman who claimed she had fell head over heels in love with a man, whom she now sus­pect­ed of being total­ly AI! This woman found her­self cap­ti­vat­ed by the charms and charis­ma of this man she met online. Lit­tle did she know, she was unknow­ing­ly inter­act­ing with an AI man. Once she con­front­ed her prince charm­ing with her sus­pi­cions, he did what most scam­mers do in this sit­u­a­tion, he ghost­ed her!

In our video, we will demon­strate just how easy it is to cre­ate the per­fect male by using arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence. From the poem he wrote her, to the numer­ous texts, and infre­quent in-per­son calls, to his pic­ture-per­fect per­son­al shots, he seemed like the per­fect man. But was he???

We hope to pro­vide an in-depth fol­low-up video to address what you can do if you sus­pect you are being scammed by an AI guy or AI gal.

Romance Scam: How A Salt Lake City Woman Lost Her Heart And Her Wal­let

March 15, 2023 1:00 am

In this video, we will hear from the actu­al vic­tim of a romance scam. This vic­tim footage is from a video pre­pared by the FBI. The FBI often pre­pares these type of videos, in coor­di­na­tion with real vic­tims, to assist in pre­vent­ing oth­ers from being vic­tim­ized by romance scam­mers.

This scam shown in this video, took place in beau­ti­ful Salt Lake City, Utah. In this romance scam sto­ry, not only did the smooth talk­ing scam­mer, who went by the name Gio­van­ni break this vic­tim’s heart, he man­aged to scam her out of over $500,000. With­in just three weeks of their ini­tial con­tact, Gio­van­ni pro­fessed his love for the vic­tim.

Our scam­mer Gio­van­ni told the vic­tim that he was an archi­tect and that he had to trav­el to Turkey for busi­ness. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, it turned out that Gio­van­ni was just anoth­er con artist, using the work­ing over­seas romance scam script. Which by the way, is a com­mon part of a romance scam­mer’s script.

In the wake of her dev­as­tat­ing expe­ri­ence, this vic­tim is deter­mined to share her sto­ry pub­licly, in the hope of rais­ing aware­ness and pre­vent­ing oth­ers from falling prey to sim­i­lar scams.

As a quick reminder, please do not for­get to like and com­ment on this video. Last­ly, please sub­scribe to this chan­nel. This helps grow Scam TV, which is extreme­ly impor­tant, since this chan­nel is a not-for-prof­it chan­nel and sup­port­ed by vol­un­teers.

If our cause gets more expo­sure, the exis­tence of these scams gets out to more peo­ple, and Scam TV can bring you more videos for a very long time.
