Council for Retirement Security Soliciting funds from senior citizens to lobby about social security Washington District of Columbia

One of MANY organizations that target Senior citizens.  Sending letters that say such things as, you must act now, final notice, past due and such other threatening language. Implying that unless money is sent to the organization that the individual will lose their Social Security Benefits. They claim to lobby on behalf of the senior citizens. Threatening that if the organization is not supported immediately they are in immediate danger of losing their COLA’s or benefits entirely. The elderly persons are susceptible to this scam because for some Social Security benefits are their only income. Additionally, they deliberately use such language that senior citizens suffering symptoms of dementia would susceptible to being stressors for them. If a senior “donates” they will become relentless sending dozens of mailing asking for more.
