Understanding the FTC’s Battle to Protect Older Adults from Scams

CALL FOR A FREE CONSULTATION (973) 479-5515 IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF CAR WARRANTY OR ROBOCALL FRAUD

In the digital age, scams targeting older adults have become alarmingly prevalent. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been on the frontline, striving to safeguard older consumers from fraudulent schemes. Their recently issued report to Congress provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape, highlighting key trends, law enforcement actions, rulemaking efforts, and outreach programs. This report, titled “Protecting Older Consumers, 2022-2023,” uncovers some disturbing facts and makes a compelling case for enhanced measures to combat fraud aimed at older Americans.

A Staggering $1.6 Billion in Losses

The report reveals significant increases in losses from various scam categories:

Investment scams: Losses amounted to $404 million, a staggering 175% rise from the previous year.

Business impersonation scams: Reported losses reached $271 million, showing a 78% increase.

Tech support scams: Losses escalated to $159 million, marking a 117% surge from 2021.

Age Disparities in Reporting and Losses

While older adults are substantially less likely to report falling victim to scams, those who do report losses tend to be significantly higher than younger adults. For instance, consumers aged 80 and above reported a median loss of $1,750 to fraud, while those in their seventies reported a median loss of $1,000. These numbers have increased from the previous year, reflecting the severity of the issue.

Online Fraud vs. Phone Call Scams

The report emphasizes the shift in scam methods. Older adults reported the largest number of online frauds, often originating from social media or online ads. However, the largest median losses resulted from scams initiated through phone calls. Furthermore, scams initiated via social media saw a significant rise in median reported losses, increasing from $460 in 2021 to $800 in 2022.

FTC’s Vigilant Efforts

The FTC has launched outreach and education programs, like the “Pass it On” campaign, which equips older adults with the knowledge and resources to protect themselves and their communities. These initiatives aim to prevent scams and empower older Americans to become advocates against fraud.

FCC Accelerates Fight Against Illegal Robocalls: One Owl Telecom Faces Tough Action

CALL FOR A FREE CONSULTATION (973) 479-5515 IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF CAR WARRANTY OR ROBOCALL FRAUD

In the ongoing battle against illegal robocalls, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ramped up its efforts, targeting One Owl Telecom, a voice service provider that has allegedly violated FCC call blocking rules. The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau is taking stern measures to combat these illegal robocalls, and their recent actions are a significant step towards this goal.

Why the FCC is Cracking Down

One Owl Telecom is suspected of serving as a gateway provider for international robocalls, inundating consumers with unauthorized prerecorded messages. These messages often falsely claimed to be from “ACM Trading LLC” and requested consumers to confirm fictitious orders. The Industry Traceback Group traced these calls to overseas origins, with One Owl acting as either the initiator or

Have some questions?

Why Am I Getting So Many Calls If There is a Do Not Call List

First many people do not know about legal remedies and a good number do buy from telemarketers. With an international economy and new technology, a company can make hundreds of calls to potential customers. While some people may complain, few do more. Governmental entities like the FTC and FCC may only take action when the calls number in the millions or complaints are in the thousands.

Is There A Charge?

NO payment is needed from our client and our fees come from the settlement or a separate allocation by the company. We have resolved a number of claims involving: Medical products Solar Energy or energy suppliers Vacation programs Auto warranty providers

What Can you Do

We will present a claim to the telemarketer and have secured compensation in a number of cases. Since there is now a charge, that company is unlikely to call again.

What is a violation of the TCPA?

Unsolicited calls to any person registered on the Do Not Call List Violate the TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act)

What are TCPA regulations?

They are particular rules telemarketers must follow to show they are not deliberately contacting consumers.

Does the Telephone Consumer Protection Act apply to businesses?

The Do Not Call registration does not apply to businesses. You cannot register a number to a business. However, some rules apply to a business too.
