The 9 SCAMs Affecting Seniors Over 60 and How to Stop Them
Sep 22, 2026
People getting close to Social Security and Medicare age tend to attract scammers. The Top 9 Scams webinar teaches how to spot a scam, what to do to not become a victim, and what to do if you already sent money.
Tampa-St Petersburg (Sarasota), FL, Florida, United States, September 22, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- People getting close to Social Security and Medicare tend to attract scammers, due to it being a time of transition and confusion. YourCareRep LLC, a Registered Social Security Analyst organization (RSSA®) wants to show you how to stop the top 9 scams of 2026.
With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), online con-artists have become sophisticated. They can use a snippet from a birthday video on Instagram or Facebook to clone a voice. They can scrape the Internet to find specifics from one’s accounts. They can use apps like T65 Locator, which shows who is turning 65 in a given zip code, along with contact information. All this information is a persona roadmap in the hands of a scammer.
Seniors need to know the top 9 scams being deployed today, so they can protect themselves. Education is half the battle; knowing what to do after an attack is the other half. Which is why Eddie Velez of YourCareRep LLC, is conducting a live webinar titled, The Top 9 Scams on Seniors and What to Do.
“I was personally scammed. Someone called me with my daughter’s voice cloned, acting very scared and asking Daddy to rescue her. My heart started pounding, I panicked and reason went out the door. They took me for $2,500, which should have been a giveaway, since no one kidnaps for pennies.” Eddie went on to say, “If I knew then what I know now, I would have analyzed the situation and allowed my wife to call my daughter to verify, instead of believing what the scammer threatened would happen if they saw a call coming in on her phone.”
Since Eddie works with hundreds of elderly people, conducting town hall workshops, educational seminars and webinars, and helping them through Medicare, Social Security and veteran issues as a member of the Marine Corps League, he sees the damage and hears the stories. This led him and his team to create a series of webinars called, Jazzing with the Seniors Series, applying fabulous music to the webinar to make it informative and fun, to get this information into the hands of those most susceptible.
The seminar is structured that each scam has its own song intro (let us see who knows their music of the era) and then delivered in a three-part format per con:
- The Scam
- How to Prevent the Scam
- If Money Already Sent
Each section walks you through what to look for, how to prevent becoming a victim, and if you have already been scammed, what to do to prevent it from happening again, and if possible, steps to report the fraud and seek recovery, since recovery is not guaranteed.
The next seminars will take place on Tuesday, September 29th, offering two time slots:

SK hynix showcases next-generation AI memory technologies beyond HBM
SK hynix said Friday that it has showcased its next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) memory technologies aimed at expanding the boundaries of AI infrastructure beyond conventional high-bandwidth memory (HBM). The company presented the technologies at the OCP Global Summit 2026, held in California from Tuesday to Thursday (local time).

Singapore’s office workers answer a 10.47pm message within 90 seconds to prove their commitment. Their bosses barely notice. The Jobstreet by SEEK Singapore Workplace Culture Study 2026, which surveyed 600 employees and jobseekers and 200 hiring decision makers, finds that 63% of staff signal dedication by replying fast, a behaviour only 39% of employers value.

The US$82,000 Illusion: Why Bitcoin still trades like a traditional tech stock
Bitcoin currently trades at US$82,231.14, reflecting a 0.65 per cent gain over the last 24 hours. This movement mirrors a broader 0.84 per cent rise in the total crypto market capitalisation. Having operated in this industry for over 15 years and advised on blockchain policy, I view this price action as a clear reflection of […] The post The US$82,000 Illusion: Why Bitcoin still trades like a traditional tech stock appeared first on e27.
Hong Kong builds a test track for robots that keep failing outside the lab
Every humanoid robot looks brilliant in a launch video. The trouble begins on an ordinary weekday in a warehouse, when a parcel arrives in a shape nobody trained the machine for, a forklift reverses where it shouldn’t, and a worker strolls into its path while scrolling a phone. That messy gap between the lab and […] The post Hong Kong builds a test track for robots that keep failing outside the lab appeared first on e27.

Your ESOP is a fundraising document. Most founders treat it as a HR perk
Almost every founder I meet reaches the same conclusion at roughly the same moment. You cannot outbid a funded competitor on salary, so you give people a stake in the outcome instead. The logic is sound. Equity turns salary-limited hires into owners and aligns the people doing the work with the value they create. Then […] The post Your ESOP is a fundraising document.

Employers are buying AI tools. Their managers are being left behind
Thirty-seven per cent. Eleven per cent. Those two numbers, tucked deep inside Jobstreet by SEEK’s Singapore Workplace Culture Study 2026, may say more about the region’s productivity problem than any headline about AI or inflation. The first is the share of employees who try to manage workplace pressure by quietly drawing their own boundaries: muting […] The post Employers are buying AI tools.

Before you use predictive AI, decide what decision it should change
A lot of startup advice about predictive AI starts too early. It starts with the model, the tool, the data stack, or the dashboard. Those things matter, but they are not the first question. The first question is simpler: what decision should this prediction change? If a startup cannot answer that clearly, it is usually […] The post Before you use predictive AI, decide what decision it should change appeared first on e27.
'AI artists' perform improvised jazz at Jarasum Jazz Festival
Artificial intelligence (AI) models developed by a research team led by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) professor Nam Ju-han made their debut at one of Korea’s leading jazz festivals, performing improvised jazz alongside human artists. According to the university Friday, the team showcased human-AI music collaboration technology that analyzes the flow of human performances in real time, allowing AI to take over performances or generate improvised accompaniment, during the 23rd Jarasum Jazz Festival, held in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, from Oct. 9 to 11. A total of 12 human jazz artists participated in the event, collaborating with AI in 26 pieces across 12 performances. The technology is different from existing music AI services as it enables collaboration with human musicians in jazz, a genre characterized by improvisation. Jazz musicians often change the tempo or create new melodies based on how they feel in the moment. Because the same piece can be performed differently each time, musicians must listen to one another and adjust their playing accord
