Everyone is at risk of being a victim of fraud, although senior citizens face an even higher risk.

      Common Types of Consumer Fraud

      Fraud can happen in many ways. Here are some of the most common types:

      • Identity theft. This is when someone steals your personal information—such as bank account information, credit card numbers, or your Social Security number—and uses it to assume your identity.
      • Credit and debit card fraud. This is a common scheme in which scammers get a hold of a victim’s debit or credit card and use it to make unauthorized purchases. Your card may also be used to make withdrawals.
      • Mortgage fraud. Real estate and mortgage professionals prey on homeowners who are behind on house payments and in danger of losing their homes. They pressure homeowners into signing contracts and agreeing to deals that are too good to be true.
      • Debt collection fraud. This type of fraud involves scammers posing as debt collection agencies to demand payment from victims. These scammers will try to get personal information from you and even threaten you until you pay.
      • Fake charities. People may receive calls from fake charities asking for money. The name of the charity may sound familiar, but the caller refuses to give you any information about it.
      • Prize and lottery fraud. You may receive a call or letter in the mail about sweepstakes, drawings, or other lottery. This type of fraud targets the elderly and asks them to send money in order to collect their prize.
