Spot These 10 Scams Before They Ruin Your Retirement

Natural disaster scams

Almost immediately after a devastating tornado, flood or other natural disaster, fraudsters go to work to take advantage of sympathetic seniors and other kind strangers who want to help.

You may be inundated with calls from bogus charities in the days following a disaster. Never give out your credit card number or other sensitive financial information to people who contact you out of the blue.

If you’d really like to provide assistance, contact a reputable charity.

Pick up the phone to call in with your donation, or give money on the official website.
