Keep your eye out for cyber scams.
According to the Lexington Police Department, they've seen a noticeable increase in cases of older adults falling victim to phone or online scams over the past two to three months.
Detective Nathan Kesterson said the types of scams vary.
He said they've received reports of scammers posing as law enforcement or contacting people through phone calls or internet pop-ups, saying their financial accounts have been comprised.
He said the scammers will isolate the victims, telling them to not talk to family or friends about it.
He said they also try to alienate them from the bank.
He said the scammer will send people to the bank to withdraw or transfer money and tell them not to share any information with the bank about what they're doing because they are investigating the bank for fraud.
He said the scams all revolve around finances and identity information.
His first piece of advice is just don't talk to these people if you are getting these calls.
"You're not obligated to talk to the scammers, they're not out for your best interest. They're targeting you trying to steal your money," Kesterson said.
Kesterson said to especially talk with your older family members about these scams to help them be more aware.
He said if you do fall victim to these scams, to alert law enforcement immediately and if you've done anything that would compromise your bank account to contact your financial institution.
