"Protecting Against Frauds and Scams?Description
New frauds and scams seem to crop up daily, many of them specifically targeted at seniors. Identity theft, investment fraud, and scams rob millions of Americans of their hard-earned money. Last year, 13 million people were the victims of identity theft alone -- that's one person every two seconds! AARP presenter Norma Boyce knows the ins and outs of schemes like these, and will advise how to protect against them. This event is free and open to the public. Everyone is welcome. Please join us on Thursday, May 26, 2016, 1:30 pm, at the Durham Evangelical Church, 114 Dover Road (Route 108), Durham, NH, for "Protecting against Frauds and Scams." Ms. Boyce's presentation will cover: (1) Fraud Trends and Behavior: how much and what types of fraud are out there, and behaviors that put you at risk; (2) The Con Artist's Playbook: strategies and tactics used by con artists to defraud; (3) Prevention: the most effective strategies to avoid becoming a victim; and (4) Resources: how to access up-to-date information about fraud identification and prevention, and where to go for help if you or someone you know becomes a victim. The Active Retirement Association offers programs reflecting the many interests of people 50+ years old, retired or not. Currently it has over 300 members from 35 communities in southern Maine and New Hampshire, who support the organization by annual dues. We offer lectures, discussion groups, films, cultural tours, walks/hikes, classes, special-interest groups, and much more!
