(BPT) - Nadie quiere creer que puede ser vÃctima de una estafa, pero esto le puede pasar a cualquiera, sin importar la edad. Sin embargo, los adultos mayores pueden ser especialmente vulnerables y con frecuencia son el blanco de los estafadores. De hecho, según el Informe de Delitos en Internet de 2024 del FBI, las personas de 60 años o más presentaron reclamaciones por más de $4.9 billones en pérdidas por estafas en 2024.
