Being pressured right now? A calm, step-by-step screen with tappable numbers for the National Elder Fraud Hotline and the FTC — real people who help, for free.
Three rules that stop most scams
Slow down. Scammers create panic so you can't think. It's always okay to hang up.
Never pay with gift cards, wires, or crypto. No real company or agency ever asks for these.
Verify yourself. Call back on a number you already have, or ask a family member first.
