  • AI Scams Targeting Seniors What to Watch For

    AI Scams Targeting Seniors What to Watch For
    Oct 15 2025
    🎧 Listen to this episode of Scam DamNation to discover how AI scams target seniors and how to stay safe.


    In this compelling episode of Scam DamNation, host Lillian Cauldwell reveals how AI scams targeting seniors have evolved into one of the most dangerous forms of digital deception. Old schemes haven’t disappeared—they’ve adapted. Scammers now use artificial intelligence to imitate trusted voices, craft realistic text messages, and personalize fake alerts. One disturbing example is a text that reads “Lump found in dog’s side.” It’s designed to instantly grab attention and spark worry, especially among animal lovers.

    Once you respond, the scammer starts a conversation, using empathy and urgency to exploit trust. These manipulative tactics can deceive anyone, but they especially endanger older adults. In 2023 alone, seniors lost more than $3.4 billion to online scams. What makes these scams so powerful is the mix of technology and psychology—AI makes them believable, and emotion makes them effective.

    Lillian breaks down five modern scams everyone should watch for:
    1. Employment Fraud: Fake remote job postings that ask for upfront payments or personal details.
    2. Crypto Cons: Promises of big profits from phony investments and “new digital coins.”
    3. Celebrity Imposters: Scammers pretending to be famous figures to gain followers or money.
    4. Tech Support Hoaxes: Fake pop-ups claiming your device is infected and urging you to call for help.
    5. Bogus Card Declines: Text messages that mimic banks and ask you to “verify” information via link.
    Throughout the episode, Lillian explains how to recognize and avoid these scams. Her advice is simple but powerful:
    • Don’t reply to texts from unknown numbers.
    • Always verify messages through official websites or phone numbers.
    • Educate older family members about emotional manipulation tactics.
    • Report suspected scams to the FTC or local authorities.
    Lillian’s goal is to empower listeners—not frighten them. By understanding how these digital cons operate, we can all stay one step ahead. 🎙 Scam DamNation continues to expose the darker side of technology while giving you the tools to stay safe and informed online.
