The Senior Show – Fraud Prevention, AI Scams & Financial Guardrails for Seniors – S1E26

Let’s get into it—this is The Senior Show!

In this episode of The Senior Show, Neil Himmelstein and Tim Kennedy discuss the growing threat of fraud, scams, and AI-driven deception targeting seniors and families. They explain how scammers use fake voices, urgent phone calls, gift card schemes, wire fraud, romance scams, stolen passwords, checks, Venmo/Zelle transfers, and even manipulated recordings to get access to people’s money. Neil and Tim also cover practical protections, including stronger passwords, verifying requests before sending money, using a 24-hour “cooling off” rule, keeping spouses and family members informed, knowing where important documents are stored, questioning medical bills and invoices, and creating financial guardrails through trusts, insurance policies, updated beneficiaries, and professional planning.
