The Top 9 Scams webinar teaches how to spot a scam, what to do to not become a victim,
and what to do if you already sent money._

Tampa-St Petersburg (Sarasota), FL, Florida, United States, September 22, 2026 /
MarketersMEDIA/ — People getting close to Social Security and Medicare tend to attract
scammers, due to it being a time of transition and confusion. [YourCareRep LLC, a Registered Social Security Analyst organization (RSSA®)](https://rssa.com/analyst/Edgardo-Velez/)
wants to show you how to stop the top 9 scams of 2026.

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), online con-artists have become 
sophisticated. They can use a snippet from a birthday video on Instagram or Facebook
to clone a voice. They can scrape the Internet to find specifics from one’s accounts.
They can use apps like T65 Locator, which shows who is turning 65 in a given zip
code, along with contact information. All this information is a persona roadmap 
in the hands of a scammer.

Seniors need to know the top 9 scams being deployed today, so they can protect themselves.
Education is half the battle; knowing what to do after an attack is the other half.
Which is why Eddie Velez of YourCareRep LLC, is conducting a live webinar titled,
_The Top 9 Scams on Seniors and What to Do_.

“I was personally scammed. Someone called me with my daughter’s voice cloned, acting
very scared and asking Daddy to rescue her. My heart started pounding, I panicked
and reason went out the door. They took me for $2,500, which should have been a 
giveaway, since no one kidnaps for pennies.” Eddie went on to say, “If I knew then
what I know now, I would have analyzed the situation and allowed my wife to call
my daughter to verify, instead of believing what the scammer threatened would happen
if they saw a call coming in on her phone.”

Since Eddie works with hundreds of elderly people, conducting town hall workshops,
educational seminars and webinars, and helping them through Medicare, Social Security
and veteran issues as a member of the Marine Corps League, he sees the damage and
hears the stories. This led him and his team to create a series of webinars called,
_Jazzing with the Seniors Series_, applying fabulous music to the webinar to make
it informative and fun, to get this information into the hands of those most susceptible.

The seminar is structured that each scam has its own song intro (let us see who 
knows their music of the era) and then delivered in a three-part format per con:

 1. The Scam
 2. How to Prevent the Scam
 3. If Money Already Sent

Each section walks you through what to look for, how to prevent becoming a victim,
and if you have already been scammed, what to do to prevent it from happening again,
and if possible, steps to report the fraud and seek recovery, since recovery is 
not guaranteed.

The next seminars will take place on Tuesday, September 29th, offering two time 
slots:
