AARP - As the holiday season approaches, Americans are increasingly turning to convenient digital tools and traditional gift cards, a shift that significantly increases the risk of fraud, a new AARP Research survey reveals.

Scammers are targeting everyone, regardless of age. Nearly 9 out of 10 adults in the U.S. (89%) report being targeted by or experiencing some type of scam. The findings underscore that this holiday shopping season consumers need to stay vigilant and mindful of scammers while understanding the risks that come with shopping, booking travel and charitable giving.

The risks are ubiquitous in today’s tech-forward life. Text messaging, peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps like Cash App and Venmo, and social media are all places where these criminals are lurking. Sending packages and physical gifts is also getting riskier, as package theft is on the rise. Three in 10 adults (30%) report having had a package stolen from outside their door.
