One of the biggest mistakes consumers make is choosing a professional too quickly without asking enough questions.

Before hiring anyone, ask:
✔ How long have you worked with older adults?
✔ Are you held to any ethical standards?
✔ Can you provide reviews or references?
✔ Do you explain all options clearly?

A trustworthy professional should never pressure you into making a fast decision.

At NAOSA, we believe consumers deserve transparency, ethics, and professionals who truly put their needs first.

Scammers are getting more sophisticated — and impersonation scams remain one of the most reported frauds in the country. The FTC says consumers reported billions lost to scammers pretending to be government agencies, businesses, banks, and even family members.

Red flags to watch for:
⚠️ Urgent threats or pressure
⚠️ Requests for gift cards, crypto, or wire transfers
⚠️ Calls, texts, or emails claiming to “protect” your money
⚠️ Anyone asking for personal or financial information unexpectedly

Always slow down, verify independently, and never trust caller ID alone.
