How a Veteran CEO’s Retirement Was Nearly Wiped Out by a Sinister Scam – and What You Must Know to Protect Yourself
The conversation with John was on a Friday. My detective work started immediately and continued over the weekend.
Red flag #4. I reviewed my file with the details of my husband’s retirement account and noticed that the return address on the current letter I had received was from a different city than the information I had on file.
On Monday I took the letter to my bank and explained my concerns, including my conversation with “John,” and a review of the four red flag situations. The two bankers I worked with also felt this was probably a scam. After reviewing my account, which fortunately was intact, they advised me to do nothing further. I breathed a sigh of relief and went home, assuming the situation was resolved.
