Senior Scams Are Hitting Our Communities Hard. Here's How They Work and How to Stop Them

An average of more than $38,000. The FBI says that's how much an older American lost, on average, when they reported a scam in 2025. For many retirees, that's a year or more of savings, and it's gone because of one phone call, one pop-up or one new "friend."

The people who spent decades building wealth are now the main target of criminals trying to take it. The good news is that most of these scams follow a script, and once you know the script, you can interrupt it.

The numbers behind the problem
The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) released its 2025 data this year, and it is grim reading:

More than 201,000 complaints came from victims over 60, with reported losses of more than $7.7 billion.
Compared with 2024, complaints rose 37% and losses rose 59%.
At least 12,400 older victims said they lost $100,000 or more.
Older adults are also losing far more than their share. According to an analysis of the IC3 data by Elder Law & Advocacy, people 60 and up filed about 20% of all complaints but accounted for roughly 37% of all reported losses.

Even those figures understate it, because many victims never report. The Federal Trade Commission has estimated that the true cost of fraud against older adults could be anywhere from $10.1 billion to $81.5 billion a year.

How seniors are actually getting scammed
The FBI's breakdown of 2025 losses for people 60 and over shows where the money goes. Here are the schemes doing the most damage, plus one that rarely shows up in the headlines.

1. Investment and crypto "opportunities"
Investment fraud is far ahead of everything else, costing older victims about $3.5 billion in 2025. It often starts on social media. The FTC reports that older adults lose more to investment scams than to any other type of fraud, and that social media is the most common way scammers make first contact with investment victims of every age.

The typical version: a friendly stranger shows you a trading app with impressive "returns" and convinces you to keep adding money. When you try to cash out, there are suddenly "fees" to pay first.

2. Tech support and fake bank calls
Tech and customer support scams cost older victims about $1 billion in 2025. A pop-up says your computer is infected, or a caller says your bank account has been compromised. The "technician" wants remote access to your device, and the "bank" wants you to move your money somewhere "safe." Wells Fargo's advice: don't respond to unexpected tech support pop-ups, calls, texts or emails.

3. Government impersonation
Fake IRS agents, fake Social Security officials and fake police officers took about $413 million from older victims. The pitch is usually fear: a warrant, a frozen benefit, or your identity "linked to a crime." The fix always involves paying right away.

4. Romance and confidence schemes
Romance and confidence scams cost older Americans about $584 million. They play out over weeks or months, and the scammer offers something isolated seniors truly want: attention.

5. The "grandparent" call, now powered by AI
As far back as 2023, the FTC and cybersecurity experts warned that AI voice cloning was making the classic grandparent scam more convincing. The caller sounds like your grandson. He's in trouble, needs money now, and begs you not to tell his parents.

6. Cash into a crypto ATM
More and more, scammers send victims to cryptocurrency kiosks at gas stations and convenience stores to feed in cash. Once it's sent, it's almost impossible to get back. FBI data shows crypto ATM losses topped $388 million in 2025 across more than 13,400 complaints. The FTC has found that adults 60 and older were more than three times as likely as younger adults to report losing money through these machines.

7. The scam nobody is watching: your home
A house is often a senior's biggest asset, and many are owned free and clear, which makes them attractive targets for deed theft. Criminals forge a signature on a quitclaim deed, get it notarized and record it with the county. Or they pressure an older owner into signing the property away. Fraud experts who spoke to a Memphis TV station warned that seniors are especially vulnerable, particularly when a home sits empty, including after the owner dies.

These cases are real. This past June in Montgomery County, Ohio, two people who were accused of using a forged quitclaim deed to take a house from a man with dementia pleaded guilty to felony records-tampering charges.

The FBI has warned that quitclaim deed fraud can involve forged documents, or relatives and close associates talking older adults into transferring property. The agency recommends watching property records and signing up for county title alerts where they're offered. Most people never check their deed after closing, and that blind spot is what deed thieves count on.

The playbook every scam shares
FBI field offices keep pointing to the same three red flags:

Urgency. You must act now, before you can think or call anyone.
Secrecy. Don't tell your bank, your kids or the police.
Unusual payment. Gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, cash couriers or crypto ATMs.
No real agency, bank or grandchild needs you to buy gift cards in secret within the hour.

How we can help prevent it: practical steps
If you're a senior
Hang up and call back. Use a number you look up yourself, such as the one on your bank card or a government website, not the one the caller gives you. The FBI's own advice includes the simple step of hanging up the phone.
Never give remote access to your computer or phone to someone who contacted you first.
Lock down social media. Set your profiles so only approved friends and family can see them. That leaves less material for scammers to research you or clone a relative's voice.
Watch your property records. Check with your county clerk about free recording alerts, and think about continuous monitoring of your title.
If you're a family member or caregiver
Set a family code word. Anyone calling with an emergency and asking for money has to know it.
Make a "second call" rule. Before any urgent money moves, the person calls another family member first.
Know the warning signs. Wells Fargo lists several: a new person urging secrecy or distance from family, a relationship or "advisor" that gets close very quickly, and sudden anxiety or excitement tied to someone new.
Name a trusted contact. Banks and brokerages let you add one. If a caregiver already handles the finances, consider naming a different relative, attorney or accountant so a second person is keeping watch.
Talk about it without shame. Victims who feel embarrassed stay quiet, and quiet victims keep losing money.
If you're a lender, title company, agent or attorney
You're often the last trusted professional a client talks to before a big transaction. Flag closings that feel rushed or involve a brand-new "family friend," look closely at quitclaim transfers involving older owners, and give clients protection that lasts after closing. That's the idea behind our partner program.

If it already happened, move fast
Speed matters more than anything else. In 2025, the FBI's Financial Fraud Kill Chain process handled 642 incidents involving victims 60 and older, with about $65.4 million in reported losses. It helped freeze roughly $32.9 million of that, but only because the reports came in quickly.

Call your bank or payment service right away and ask them to stop or recall the transfer.
Report it to the FBI at ic3.gov, the FBI's office for elder fraud complaints. The Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime also runs the National Elder Fraud Hotline to help with reporting.
Report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Warn your family and friends.
Enforcement does work when victims come forward. In November 2025, the FBI San Diego Elder Justice Task Force and more than 100 law enforcement personnel served arrest and search warrants targeting an international elder scam network. The FBI had used IC3 reports to identify more than 500 suspected or confirmed U.S. victims, with losses topping $40 million.

Protect what took a lifetime to build
Most of these scams go after money that can be moved quickly. Deed fraud goes after the home itself, and it can go unnoticed for months. That's the gap DeedLock was built to close. It watches county property records around the clock and alerts you the moment something is filed against your title. Cancelling it requires identity verification, so a scammer can't quietly turn it off.

Have the conversation with your parents this weekend. Set the code word, check the deed, and save the reporting links. Then put a watch on the home itself: visit goldpatrons.com to protect your property, or your clients' properties, with DeedLock.

Free County Fraud Alerts Have Been Around for Years. Deed Fraud Keeps Getting Worse.

A forged deed doesn't have to fool you. It only has to stay out of your sight long enough for someone to sell your home or borrow against it.

That's why deed fraud works so well. The criminal files the paperwork, then reroutes the mail and notices that would normally warn you if a warning was even attempted to be sent out to a different address or a P.O. box. Everything looks quiet at your end, and quiet feels like safety. Keep in mind, nobody ever warns about fraud because legally everything looks to be in order and above board. The fraud that allowed it to happen in the first place is the issue.

Many counties offer a free answer to this: sign up with the clerk's office and get an email when something is recorded in your name. These programs are a reasonable first step, and we tell people to use them. They've also been running for years, and over that time the losses have kept climbing. Here's why, and what actually closes the gap.

The numbers are moving the wrong way
According to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), criminals stole more than $275 million through real estate-related fraud in 2025, from at least 12,368 victims. That is up from 9,359 complaints and more than $173 million in 2024, and 9,521 complaints and about $145 million in 2023. The IC3 real estate category is broader than deed theft alone (it also covers rental and timeshare fraud). Even so, the direction is clear: losses have risen every year since 2023.

The title industry is seeing the same thing. In the American Land Title Association's 2026 study, 59% of title firms reported at least one seller impersonation attempt in the prior year, more than double the 28% in ALTA's 2024 survey. Seller impersonation is when a criminal poses as the owner to sell a property. Another 45% of firms saw an attempt in just the month before the survey, up from 19% in 2024. 58% of firms had encountered deepfaked images or voices, and two years earlier that tactic wasn't even on the list.

ALTA found vacant land is still the top target, but vacation homes, rentals, farmland and primary residences all rose as targets compared with 2024. Owning the home you live in no longer makes you a hard target.

Lawmakers have noticed too. In 2024, New York created the crime of deed theft in its larceny statute for the first time. The state has since committed $4.5 million to enforcement and outreach, and the FY27 budget includes $40 million for its Homeowner Protection Program. When a state has to write a brand-new crime into law and fund a legal-aid network for it, the problem isn't going away.

Free clerk alerts aren't new
County alert programs are not a recent experiment. Miami-Dade's clerk says its office has mailed fraud courtesy notices since 2005. When Florida required every county clerk to offer an opt-in recording alert in 2023 under HB 1419, the state's clerks noted that many of them had already offered these services for several years. Similar programs run in counties across Texas, Illinois, Kansas and elsewhere, and new ones keep launching. Lubbock County, Texas announced its own service this month.

So the tools have been out there for a long time, and the losses kept rising anyway. A free alert is better than nothing, but the way most of these systems are built leaves real gaps.

Where the free systems fall short
You have to find them, and sign up county by county. These services are opt-in. The widely used Property Fraud Alert platform is managed one county at a time, so if you own property in more than one county, you need a separate subscription in each. Families who have never heard of the program, including many older homeowners and heirs to inherited homes, are left out completely.

They only catch exact matches. Palm Beach County's clerk says plainly that you will only get an alert for an exact match, and recommends registering every variation: Mary Smith, Mary Ellen Smith, Mary E Smith. Lee County gives the same advice. Tarrant County, Texas notifies subscribers only when the exact name they gave appears as grantor or grantee. A forger who uses a slightly different spelling of your name can file without setting anything off.

They generate noise. Duval County's system monitors names, not addresses, so someone named John Smith can get alerts for documents recorded by other people with the same name. The clerk's own guidance says that an alert is generally not a cause for concern. After a few false alarms, many people stop opening them.

They go to one inbox, and nobody checks it for you. Property Fraud Alert asks subscribers to pick a single contact method: email, text or a voice call. An automated email from an unfamiliar government sender is easy for a spam filter to catch, or for a busy person to skip. If that one message goes unread, nothing else catches the filing.

They leave the legwork to you. In Lubbock County, users who get an alert have to review the document in person at the clerk's office or buy a copy. In Sedgwick County, Kansas, the clerk says an alert only means there's a possible name match. In every case, working out whether a filing is fraud is up to you.

They don't follow the criminal's next move. The recording is often just the first step. The cover-up comes after.

The mailbox trick
Miami-Dade's clerk explains how it works: a recorded deed can change the owner's address in the property appraiser's and tax collector's systems, which means tax bills and assessment notices may start going to a different address. Kiplinger also warns that thieves sometimes change the address on bills to hide their crime and buy themselves more time.

This is why county clerks list the same warning sign again and again: you stop getting your property tax bill. If you pay through escrow, you might not notice the missing bill for months.

One case shows how this plays out. As Deeds.com recounts it, an heir to a home in Queens got an email from a mortgage servicer about an address change. When he followed up, the company said someone had paid off the loan. He went to the property and found workers throwing out his family's belongings.

The system that's supposed to warn the owner (the mailing address on file) becomes the tool used to keep the owner in the dark. If a free alert also lands in a spam folder, the family hears nothing until a stranger shows up claiming the house.

Monitoring the record, not the mailbox
We built DeedLock, the original AI Title SurveillanceĀ®, to work from where the fraud starts: the public record. It watches county property records around the clock and alerts the owner as soon as something is filed against their title. Because it watches the filings themselves, it doesn't matter where a scammer has redirected the tax bills or which P.O. box now gets the notices. The goal is to catch the fraud before the home is sold or borrowed against, while it can still be stopped.

We also designed it so a criminal can't simply turn it off. Cancelling coverage requires identity verification. Someone who has stolen enough of your personal information to forge a deed shouldn't be able to shut off the system that would expose them.

That's also why lenders, title companies, real estate agents and attorneys work with us. Closing day is when they hand over the keys. Ongoing monitoring protects their clients for all the years after.

What to do this week
Whatever you decide about paid monitoring, take these steps now:

Search your county's official records for your property. Look for any deed, mortgage or lien you didn't sign.

Call your tax collector and property appraiser or assessor to confirm the mailing address on file is yours.

Sign up for your county's free alert anyway. Register every version of your name and any trust or LLC name, add the sender to your contacts so the emails don't land in spam, and do it in every county where you own property.

Watch for missing mail. A tax bill that doesn't arrive, a notice of default on a loan you're current on, or mail at your address in a stranger's name are all red flags.

Check on vacant, inherited and rental properties often. These are exactly the properties criminals are targeting more.

Act fast if something looks wrong. Contact local law enforcement and a real estate attorney. In New York, the Attorney General's office has the authority to prosecute deed theft.

The bottom line
Free clerk alerts have been around for years, and deed fraud has kept growing. They depend on you finding them, typing your name exactly the way a forger will, and noticing one email that may never reach your inbox. Scammers know that, which is why rerouting the mail is part of the playbook.

Your home is probably your family's biggest asset, and it deserves protection a scammer can't redirect or switch off. Start continuous title monitoring with DeedLock at goldpatrons.com, before someone else's paperwork gets there first.

The House Was Still Standing. The Deed Was Gone: What Harris County's Deed Theft Lawsuits Teach Every Family

Keata Wade and her sister were getting ready to fix up their late father's and grandmother's home in Houston. Then they learned it was no longer theirs. Here is what Harris County's new deed fraud lawsuits allege, and what families can do to protect an inherited home.

Keata Wade and her sister were getting ready to fix up the family house on Teton Street in Houston's Sunnyside neighborhood. Their grandmother had bought it, lived there until she died, and their father lived there after her until his own death. The sisters went to get their paperwork in order and found out the house was no longer theirs.

The county's records listed a woman named Antia Martinez as the owner. A family the Wades had never met was living inside.

Wade told ABC13 Houston it was "the only piece of property left belonging to my father and grandmother." Hers is now one of the central cases in two lawsuits Harris County filed in September 2026 over what it calls a widespread deed fraud scheme. ABC13 reports that more than a dozen families are trying to get their homes back.

We watch county property records for a living, and this case shows a pattern we see over and over: forged paperwork, recorded in the public record, sitting there unnoticed until the family tries to use the property.

What Harris County alleges
On September 9, Harris County Attorney Abbie Kamin announced two civil lawsuits at a press conference. According to her office's news release, the suits accuse defendants of forging paperwork to get deeds to homes, then selling the homes or possibly renting them to tenants who didn't know.

Harris County vs. Antia Martinez et al. names five properties that the county says were stolen with forged notarized documents.

Harris County vs. Mario Cavazos accuses Cavazos of stealing five more homes. The county says that in an earlier case, Cavazos sold a property to Martinez, and that dispute was settled in a private lawsuit.

That's at least 10 homes, and county officials told KHOU they think there may be more victims. Kamin said the scheme involved tricking notaries into signing paperwork, faking identities on documents, and passing forged deeds back and forth to cover the trail. Her summary at the press conference, as reported by KHOU: "Bottom line, this is home theft."

The Teton Street case follows a common pattern. Wade told Click2Houston the alleged scammers forged her late grandmother's signature and deeded the house to a person who doesn't exist. Then the house was transferred again, this time to a real person investigators think is tied to a larger fraud network. Hoodline, citing Community Impact's review of the filings, reported that the fraudulent transfers on the Wade property were recorded in July 2023 and March 2025.

The Houston Chronicle reported that several defendants have faced earlier civil suits over deed theft going back years. Still, these are civil cases and the claims are allegations. Click2Houston reported that as of the announcement, no criminal charges had been filed in these specific cases.

Why inherited homes are the easiest targets
Kamin said that in some cases, scammers go after homes whose owners have died so they can take the deed before the heirs know what happened. That's the Wade family's story. Wade told Click2Houston the theft happened while she was coping with the deaths of both of her parents. The family only found out when an attorney from the County Attorney's Office called them earlier this year.

Harris County has seen this before. In May 2025, then-County Attorney Christian Menefee sued two men accused of forging deeds in Trinity Gardens. According to KHOU, one home in that case was allegedly transferred just 48 hours after its owner died. Another was transferred 31 years after the owner's death. In a separate case, the Houston Chronicle reported in 2025 that a couple accused of stealing 40 Houston-area properties was ordered to pay $1.2 million in restitution to the buyers they defrauded.

These cases have the same weak spots in common:

Nobody is opening the mail. If the owner has died and the house sits empty, nobody sees the tax bill change or a strange letter arrive.

Probate drags. If heirs haven't formally handled the estate, the record still shows a deceased owner who can't object to anything.

Paid-off homes have no lender watching. With no mortgage, there's no bank servicer to notice that ownership changed.

Recording isn't verification. Alliant National Title notes that county clerks are tasked with processing documents efficiently, not investigating whether they're authentic.

Why getting the house back takes so long
Proving a deed was forged is only part of the problem. When a fraudulent deed gets recorded, the house can be resold, mortgaged or rented out, and each step pulls in new people. County officials told KVUE that these schemes can create more than one set of victims, because buyers and renters may pay someone they believe has the right to sell or lease the home.

Wade told KHOU she doesn't know whether the family living in her grandmother's house is connected to the scheme or has no idea about the property's history. Either way, those people are in the house, and sorting out who owns it now goes through a courtroom. KHOU reported that the county is suing to stop the alleged fraud, hold those responsible accountable, and return properties to their rightful owners where the law allows.

That last condition matters. When a home has changed hands several times, getting it back is a legal fight, and catching the fraud early is what decides how hard that fight is.

What Texas has changed
Texas lawmakers passed several laws in 2025 aimed at this problem:

SB 1734 (owner's affidavit and fast court review). According to Asurity's summary of the law, an owner who believes a recorded document fraudulently transferred their property can record an owner's affidavit and mail notice to the grantor and grantee. If no one records a counter-affidavit within 120 days, the owner can ask a district court to find that the document doesn't transfer title. The court can decide based on the filings alone, filing fees are waived, and the court's finding is recorded. The law took effect September 1, 2025.

SB 647 (clerk notice and refusal). The Houston Chronicle reported that this law requires county clerks to notify the last known owner when certain filings list addresses that don't match the owner's. It also lets clerks refuse to record a suspicious document if the filer can't back it up.

SB 693 (notaries). This law adds penalties and education requirements for notaries and requires them to keep records for 10 years, according to Asurity.

A practical checklist for families
If you own a home:

Look yourself up. Search your name and address on the Harris County Appraisal District site and the County Clerk's real property records, and confirm you're still listed as the owner.

Sign up for DeedLock. Do it for your parents' and grandparents' properties too, especially if they're paid off.

Keep your will current and handle estates through probate, which the County Attorney's Office specifically recommends. A clean record is harder to fake.

If a loved one has died and left a home:

Check the deed record right away, and keep checking until the estate is settled.

Don't let the house sit empty with nobody looking at it. Have someone pick up mail, check the property, and watch the records.

Take any letter about a "sale," a new tax account, or a stranger asking about the house seriously.

If you find a filing you didn't authorize:

Get copies of the recorded document from the County Clerk.

Report it to the Harris County Attorney's Office through its Stay Scam Free resources. "If you believe this has happened to you or to a family member, please reach out to my office," Kamin said, as reported by KVUE.

Talk to a real estate attorney about the SB 1734 owner's affidavit process, and move quickly, before the property can be sold again or borrowed against.

If you're buying or renting:

Check the ownership record yourself, use a licensed title company, and be wary of below-market deals, cash-only terms, or a "landlord" who can't show proof they own the place.

The real lesson from Teton Street
The forged deed on the Wade house was recorded in public, where anyone could have seen it. Nobody was looking. By the time the family found out, someone else lived in the house and the county had to sue to start untangling it.

That's why we built DeedLock, the original AI Title SurveillanceĀ®. It watches county property records around the clock and alerts you as soon as something is filed against your title, so you can act before anyone sells or borrows against your home. Cancelling coverage requires identity verification, so a scammer can't quietly turn it off.

Use the free county tools, keep your estate plans current, and make sure every property in your family, including the one Grandma left behind, has someone watching it. To protect your home or a family property, learn more about DeedLock at goldpatrons.com. If you're a lender, title company, agent or attorney, ask us how to give your clients that protection after closing.
