Though she's only a teenager, Tejasvi has personal experience with elder fraud schemes.

Last summer, the Texas resident's 86-year-old grandfather almost fell victim to a money-stealing scam. He received a phone call from someone posing as a family member and asking for $2,000. As he was about to send the money, a real family member caught on and stopped him from initiating the transaction.

"When I heard about this incident, I was really shocked because my grandfather was someone who was so cautious and so careful with his finances.
