According to the FTC, many older adults, who tend to be trusting and isolated, fall prey to deceptive phone calls from scammers posing as friends or service providers. In Davidson County, a surge in cases prompted an investigative team to track these incidents. One victim, No Williamson, lost $31,000 after a scammer falsely claimed to be from Apple, leading her to withdraw cash and deposit it into a Bitcoin ATM. Authorities advise those who have been scammed to monitor their credit and financial accounts.
