Since his divorce, my elderly father has been using online dating to meet someone. I’m nervous he?ll fall victim to a Sweetheart Scam. How can I make sure that he doesn't?

One of the best ways to help your father avoid becoming a victim of the sweetheart scam is to educate him. Provide him with the proper information about scams targeting seniors and the sweetheart scam in particular.

Give him tips and advice for online dating and teach him about any red flags that may be a cause for concern, such as requesting information about his finances or the person asking to be included on property deeds or bank accounts.

If you’re that worried education isn’t enough then, be sure to communicate with him about his online relationships and speak with financial advisors for advice on how to ensure his safety.
