Stay Aware of Con Artists in Your Neighborhood with the AARP Scam-Tracking Map

Posted on 10/22/24

When it comes to fraud, knowledge is power. But how can we spread that knowledge so more people are empowered to protect themselves?

One great way to report what you’ve experienced is through the AARP Scam-Tracking Map (www.aarp.org/scammap). The map shows scams that people experience every day, and it also includes warnings from law enforcement. You can submit scams you’ve encountered and explore what’s being reported in your area.

Staying informed has never been easier; the AARP Scam-Tracking Map is freshly updated, with improved searchability features, a more user-friendly interface, and best of all, it is now accessible from any mobile device!

We’re all in this together – let’s share what we know so the next target doesn’t become the next victim.

Be a fraud fighter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam.

AARP Fraud Watch Network™ is a free resource for all. Learn how to proactively spot scams or get guidance if you’ve been targeted. Visit aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call our dedicated helpline to speak to a fraud specialist at 877-908-3360.
