DON'T LET YOUR MOM AND DAD
FALL VICTIM TO SCAMS
Your Parents Are Vulnerable.
They Could Lose Everything They Own
As mom and dad grow older they’re subject to an increasing number of money-losing swindles ranging from identity theft to financial scams that threaten to rob them of their hard-earned savings, even their homes. Fifteen million seniors are scammed every year and most of it is preventable with a little bit of knowledge.
That’s where I come in. I’m the guy who wrote the book on senior scams (see insert right), and like your mom and dad, a senior. So I know where they’re coming from and I recognize the problems they face.
That’s why I designed the ScamScore™ , a test that evaluates how vulnerable your senior parents are to scams. It isolates areas needing improvement and points the way to corrective action.
I conduct the evaluation, derive the ScamScore™ , and reveal where your mom and dad are vulnerable to attack. Then I show your parents specific actions they can take to avoid becoming the hapless victims of scams. They also receive an autographed copy of my book Scambusters: More Than 60 Ways Seniors Get Swindled and How to Prevent It. I follow this within a week with a written report that details the recommendations I made to them.
Of course you, as sponsor, receive a copy of the report, along with a confidential letter expressing my personal assessment of how well your parents are accepting my recommendations. This is a needed step since I cannot guarantee your parents won't lose money because of poor investment decisions they make. But if they follow my advice and recommendations they are much less likely to become victims of scammers.
The entire process on scene with mom and dad usually takes no more than two hours. After the initial consultation I’m available for help with specific issues.
The result: your mom and dad will have acquired body armor to protect them against the onslaught of scammers. It could save them——and you——thousands of dollars.
