Online fraud is a terrible problem, especially for older folks who might not recognize a scam. Here are some tips to avoid fraud:

Be cautious if you get an email and it doesn’t use your full name or has a generic greeting; if it has incorrect logos or the design looks strange; if it uses suspicious website links, or if it has attachments.

Be wary of a false urgency. Scams often create a false sense of urgency. If in doubt, open a new tab on your browser and log in to your bank or other financial account to check for urgent messages or notifications.

Watch out for offers that seems too good to be true. Scammers may use false promises like money in exchange for a favor, lottery wins, or unsolicited job offers.

Never provide personal, credit card or account information via email, text, or phone.

Only use your financial company’s secure website to update your personal information, including your full name, credit and debit card numbers, bank account numbers, driver's license number, email, and password.

The Governor of Massachusetts signed a bill today that increases the Estate Tax Exemption to $2 million starting January 1 of this year (2023 - yes it's retroactive). That will save many Massachusetts residents' families from having to pay estate tax on modest size estates. This eliminates the need for estate-tax planning for those with less than $2 million in total assets. See your Estate Planning Attorney in case you need or want to update your planning.

I've been told that some people are getting scam phone calls and our office number shows up on their caller ID. This is known as "spoofing." Sophisticated telephone scammers can use software to make any phone number or name show up on your caller ID when they call you. Be wary when anyone calls you, even if the caller ID seems to be someone you may know. It is suggested that families set up a secret code-word to double check identity. Elders are often scammed by someone pretending to be a grandchild in trouble who needs money. Don't fall for these scams.
