Scammers are going the extra mile to make money and targeting people of all ages, including your family, friends, and neighbors.
FNB Bank Vice President and Loan Officer Kyle Hensley says the lonely-heart scam is becoming increasingly popular and mainly targeting senior citizens.
Hensley adds, in the beginning, the amount of money taken may seem low.
Hensley notes if you have fall victim to a scam, like the lonely-heart scam, your money will not be recovered.
A tip shared to avoid scams is to never share your personal information online or over the phone.
Hensley adds if you ever have any doubts about anything to contact your bank or law enforcement officials, as they have resources to help.
Cadiz Rotary Club members learned about scams and the way people are affected during their Tuesday meeting. In addition, they learned that major scams are frequently occurring throughout western Kentucky and the United States by people or organizations outside of the country.
