The Carpenter-Carse Library, in cooperation with AARP Vermont's
Fraud Watch Network, will host a timely presentation on scams, fraud
and con artists entitled The Weapons of Fraud at the library on Tuesday,
April 9th.
The program will identify the current scams and tactics being used today. It provides helpful tips on staying out of the grip of con artists. The presentation, by Bill April, Vermont Fraud Watch Network Volunteer, has been seen by hundreds of Vermonters over the past year.
"Consumer fraud of every type is on the increase. From the imposters claiming to be I.R.S. Agents to the computer tech support scams, to the bulk-mailed contests, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of attempts to defraud the public," according to Elliott Greenblott, AARP Vermont Fraud Watch Coordinator.
The presentation provides clear examples of scams and concrete protection steps for all ages.
Free and open to the public.
