I got an email saying my Social Security is suspended. Is this real?
That's a scam โ€” and a very common one. Social Security never suspends benefits by email. Never call the number in that message. Here's exactly what to do next and how to report it...
My grandson needs bail money wired right now. He says don't tell anyone.
Stop โ€” this is the "Grandparent Scam." Criminals impersonate family members to create panic. Before doing anything, call your grandson directly on a number you already have. I'll walk you through it step by step.

$3.4B
Lost by adults 50+ to online fraud every year

Adults 50+ are the #1 target for online scammers โ€” not because they're less capable, but because they have more savings, are more trusting, and are less likely to report it. Barb exists to change that.
