AARP National Fraud Prevention Resources

Common signs of a scam include:

  • A phone call asking for money or personal information, such as your Social Security number.
  • A request to buy gift cards to pay a purported debt or to send money to someone whom you’ve only met online.
  • An unauthorized charge on your credit card.
  • An email or call saying you’ve won a sweepstakes or lottery, though you don’t recall entering one.

Report a scam or fraud if:

  • You get a suspicious call, text or email requesting your bank account number; instructing you to buy a gift card; or promising a prize or gift.
  • You gave money or financial or medical information to someone whom you now suspect was a scammer.
  • A relative or friend gave money or something of value to a suspected scammer.

If you or someone you know has fallen victim to fraud, please don't hesitate to call AARP Utah for help: 1-877-926-8300.
