Boomers feel lonelier than younger people because they were married for so long, had children, and were used to being around a lot of people over the years. With their adult children leading lives of their own, some living in a different state makes the boomer vulnerable to theft or damage.
They are at the moment in their lives when they need company to complete their golden years. They realize it’s time to find a partner, so they turn to dating sites. They are in a hurry and do not think about the consequences if they meet the wrong person.
The mistakes boomers make are telling their date about their personal finances, where they live, and how many stocks and bonds they own. They want people to notice them, so they brag about the assets they have acquired and achieved over the years.
The reason cons seek out dating boomers is because they open up and trust most people and most are very giving. The boomer has worked many years to save for his golden years and the con man knows it. The boomer goes on a dating site, finds a partner, and hooks up with the first hunk that comes along.
They are still in the age of love and they are desperate for it, so when someone catches their eye, they are ready to go for that person. The cons know this and will blow your mind by giving you easy access to your bank account and all other assets.
The boomer tells them everything they want to know because the scammer has stolen their hearts and is ready to steal their bank account. They are smart and know how to get the keys, vault, and account numbers from the boomers without them noticing.
Boomers need to stop giving out information and flashing fancy cars and diamonds. Not all boomers have money, but many do. Some from a husband’s life insurance or from a career they had or from an estate left by their own parents.
They swallow the sad stories the scam gives them and never question their motives. They believe the scammer genuinely cares about them and is there to help them, but the scammer only uses them until the boomer wears out, then runs away and hits the next victim.
Boomers should stick to speed dating events where all members are registered and are within their own age group. Some cons are boomers themselves, but these events will help prevent them from taking damage.
If you are a boomer looking for a partner, never trust them with your personal finances and keep all your personal information to yourself. Many boomers have been hit by a scam and lost all their savings, home, and valuables because they were too vulnerable.
