The September 2023 edition of Ed Slott’s newsletter comes with stories and insights about elder abuse, where scammers within families steal retirement account funds, resulting in significant losses as well as tax penalties. This is another example of why accountability needs to prevail within families, especially when larger retirement account balances are involved. Of course, on top of the losses are the significant issues related to family and the difficulty in many cases of ever getting these funds returned. On today’s show, we’ll discuss what to do to arm yourself and your loved ones against this threat. Also, Heidi will discuss how to avoid scams and scammers, and how cyber security plays a key role in protecting yourself. Deann joins us as well to bring the stats related to our subject and shed more light and learning on this.
