Months later, mail starts arriving from companies that retiree never contacted directly: extended-warranty pitches, &quot;you've been selected&quot; sweepstakes notices, unfamiliar catalogs. That drift — a name and address moving from one company's customer file into other hands — is the raw material behind a much larger pattern. In 2023, Americans age 60 and older reported $3.4 billion in losses to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center — 101,068 complaints, an average loss of $33,915, up roughly 11% from the year before (<a href="https://www.ic3.gov/AnnualReport/Reports/2023_IC3ElderFraudReport.pdf">FBI IC3 2023 Elder Fraud Report</a>).
