How To Avoid Financial Scams Targeting Divorced Individuals

Going through a divorce can be one of the most challenging periods in a person’s lifetime. Divorce can lead to people feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. Unfortunately, scammers are well aware of this and often target recently divorced individuals. Here’s how to avoid the financial scams:

• Fake Investment Opportunities: Divorce can sometimes leave people feeling like they need to rebuild their savings asap. Scammers tend to exploit this feeling by offering high-return “investment opportunities”. 
• “Urgent” Legal or Financial Threats: Posing as debt collectors or lawyers, scammers may try to pressure you to pay “overdue” bills or fines. 
• Identity Theft: With your personal information spread across legal documents, financial accounts, and shared histories, you may be exposed to identity theft. Scammers use stolen account details to open lines of credit in your name or drain your accounts.
