Scammers may change their stories, but the warning signs remain the same: urgency, secrecy, unusual payment requests, courier pickups, and pressure to act before checking with someone you trust.

This week’s update highlights grandchild and romance scams, AI-assisted impersonation, the return of fraudulent “unclaimed life insurance” letters, Tennessee’s cryptocurrency-kiosk prohibition, and important elder-justice policy developments. Please read, share, and help us encourage every family to create a pause before the payment.

Awareness prevents losses — and quick reporting can help protect others.
