U. S. Senator Jon Ossoff is urging the Trump Administration to better protect Georgia seniors from scams. In a letter to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, he called for stronger measures as financial scams continue to increase. Sen. Ossoff highlighted the serious financial and emotional impact on seniors, who number over 1. 2 million in Georgia and deserve security. He noted that Georgia is among the top five states affected by financial fraud, with losses rising from $25 million in 2020 to $92 million in 2023. In Georgia, reports of scams targeting seniors are increasing, causing significant financial losses for those aged 60 and older. The FBI reported that losses from scams rose from over $25 million in 2020 to $92 million in 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, fraud losses reached about $33. 4 million, placing Georgia 12th in the nation. This situation is harming the trust of seniors and their caregivers in the financial system. Ossoff has consistently pushed for protections for seniors, including pressing the CFPB on this issue and securing commitments from Bank of America’s CEO to combat schemes targeting vulnerable populations.
