國際時事跟讀 Ep.K711: Safeguarding Older Family Members: Navigating Scam Conversations
Highlights 主題摘要：
- Multigenerational Approach: Protect older family members from scams by adopting a multigenerational approach, fostering empathy, and engaging in continuous conversations about common scams.
- Informative Communication: Approach scam discussions with older family members by presenting information, encouraging open dialogue, and involving them in decision-making to build a receptive environment.
- Empathy in Crisis: If a family member falls victim to a scam, prioritize empathy over blame, viewing scams as crimes perpetrated by organized groups, and providing emotional support and understanding.
Scams targeting older adults are on the rise, with devastating consequences. As exemplified by Daniel Goldstein's mother, who fell victim to an email scam, it is crucial to address this issue. In 2022, scams led to a staggering $8.8 billion in losses, with older adults being the primary targets, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Navigating conversations about scams with older family members can be challenging, but it is essential to protect them.

Investment scams, tech support scams, and impersonation scams are also prevalent, and resources like the FTC's website provide additional information.
了解針對年長者的常見騙局是預防的第一步。像“祖父母”詐騙這樣的詐騙手法，詐騙者通過電話索取金錢，以及利用網路聯繫的浪漫騙局尤其普遍。認識這些手法使家庭能夠主動保護其年長家人。投資詐騙、技術支持詐騙和身份冒充詐騙也很普遍，聯邦貿易委員會的網站等資源提供了更多信息。
To raise awareness, families should engage in regular discussions about scams, making it a common topic in day-to-day conversations. Encouraging constant communication helps older family members stay vigilant.
