Do the AARP Shred 'Em Two-Step
Fraud is on the rise especially for older adults. In 2024, the FTC reported a sharp increase in identity theft cases nationwide but protecting yourself is easier than you think, just follow these two simple steps:
- Gather your outdated personal and financial documents.
- Bring them to an AARP Shred 'Em Day event near you.
No dance moves required — unlike the Texas Two-Step!
Remember, you can take proactive steps to safeguard against scammers:
- Shredding Documents: Shredding confidential documents is a simple way to protect your identity.
- Avoid Unsolicited Communications: Be cautious when answering phone calls from unknown numbers. Criminals manipulate emotions to separate victims from their cash.
- Different Passwords for Every Account: Use distinct passwords for each account to reduce the risk. Password managers can help you keep track of them.
- Social Media Caution: Avoid online quizzes, surveys, and free apps on social media. Criminals can gather information for identity theft.
- Use Protective Software: Install antivirus software, antispyware, a firewall, and pop-up blockers.
- Public Wi-Fi Safety: Use a virtual private network (VPN) when on public Wi-Fi. Avoid accessing sensitive information without protection.
- Report Fraud: If you encounter a scam, report it to the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 877-908-3360, local law enforcement and the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
