Program Description

Event Details

“Fraud is not limited to race, ethnic background, gender, age, education, or even income. However, elderly Americans are often targeted for scams because they typically live alone, have a large nest egg, and may even be more open to conversing with strangers. That is why our office is dedicated to educating our elders on the latest traps being set for their retirement & savings. We will of course investigate and litigate unfair trade practices within our jurisdiction; however, with more and more scams originating outside of our country, it is imperative that you learn how to protect yourself from various traps being set and this presentation is intended to help you do just that.”
