10 top scams targeting seniors
<b>Number of complaints in 2018:</b> 54
In these scams, a consumer gets a call from someone claiming to work for a local, state or federal law enforcement agency. They're told that there's a warrant out for their arrest — often they're told it's because they failed to report for jury duty — and that they will be arrested immediately unless they pay a fine. The committee noted that reports about such scams rose 32% last year, to 54 calls.
