UAW Retiree Chapter 2209 Event: Senior Scams

About This Webinar

Financial scams targeting seniors have become so prevalent that they are now considered “The Crime of the 21st Century.” Why? Seniors usually have financial savings, own a home, have good credit, and tend to be trusting – all of which make them attractive to scammers. Perpetrators look for opportunities as well as vulnerabilities. These scams could include but are not limited to Health Care/Medicare/Health Insurance Fraud, Counterfeit Prescription Drugs, Fraudulent Anti-Aging Products, Telemarketing, Internet Fraud, Investment Schemes, Homeowner/Reverse Mortgage Scams, Sweepstakes & Lottery Scams and The Grandparent Scam.

Please join us for a 40 minute online event to learn more about this timely topic. Our featured guest speakers are Sergeant Brian Walker, Public Information Officer with the Indiana State Police, as well as Nichole Thomas, Communications Director with BBB here in Fort Wayne. Using the information considered, you will be better positioned to protect yourself and your loved ones from this growing problem.
