Scams to watch for in Boulder
Scammers target people everywhere, including a mid-sized city like Boulder. These three are among the most common:
- Fake charity requests. After storms and in the holidays, fake charities appear. Give through a charity you looked up yourself, not one that called or texted you.
- Fake bank fraud alerts. A caller or text says your account is under attack and you must move money. Real banks never ask you to do that. Hang up and call the number on the back of your card.
- Gift card payment demands. Anyone who asks you to pay with gift cards, wire transfers or crypto is a scammer, whether they claim to be the IRS, a utility or a sheriff's office.
If something happens, report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and call the AARP Fraud Watch helpline at 877-908-3360 (free, open to everyone).
