At Ploutos Gold & Silver, we take your safety seriously. A recent elder fraud case making headlines in Massachusetts is a powerful reminder to stay vigilant when it comes to your money—especially gold and silver investments.
💡 What Happened?
Federal authorities have indicted eight individuals for a transnational scam targeting hundreds of elderly victims across the U.S. and Canada. Victims were tricked by fake pop-up messages and phone calls, then pressured to hand over cash, gold bars, or wire funds—thinking their bank accounts were compromised.

🚨 Common Red Flags to Watch For
- “Your bank account has been compromised—send us gold to protect it.”
- “We’re with the FBI or IRS—act fast or your money will be lost.”
- “Buy gold or crypto now and hand it to our courier for safekeeping.”
These are scams. Don’t fall for them.
✅ How to Stay Safe
NEVER:
- have someone else’s couriers to pick up your gold
- Wire money to someone you don’t know who is urgently requesting you to do so
- Think a government agency is going to ask you to pay a bill in crypto, gift cards or gold.
