Knowledge is your best defense against fraud!

About the Event

Join AARP Vermont for an informative event on fraud prevention and awareness.

Did you know that every 2 seconds someone’s identity is stolen? People over 50 are especially vulnerable, making up more than half of all fraud victims. From bogus investment deals and the Grandparent Scam to email ploys, lottery scams, and the latest ID theft schemes, con artists are always finding new ways to steal your money. Staying up to date is key to protecting yourself and your loved ones.
