SCAM, From page 15 Often I find that seniors are courteous and don’t want to be rude. However, I ask seniors, “Would you reach out to pet a rattlesnake?” Of course their answer is always, “No.” I instruct seniors, “Never talk to them, never email them, never call them back. Ignore them completely and they will eventually go away.” Knowledge gives seniors power. Knowing how to identify scams can give a senior peace of mind. If any senior is still concerned, they can always call HELPS nonprofit law firm toll-free at 855-435-7787 to help confirm a scam communication. It is part of our mission to identify these scammers for seniors and we are happy to offer this free assistance. Scammers are rattlesnakes. You want nothing to do with them. Ignore them and give them a wide berth. Be aware of the “rattle,” or key phrases and words that identify them as what they are. Be informed. Knowledge is power. Attorney Eric Olsen is the president of the nonprofit law firm HELPS, which stands for Help Eliminate Legal Problems for Seniors and Disabled.
