AARP Vermont is offering a series of free virtual presentations on consumer fraud. These one-hour sessions are offered as independent programs and anyone interested is free to attend as many as they wish. Two presentations are offered on each of the dates: 10:00 AM and repeated at 7:00 PM. EST The programs provide an explanation of the topic, specific examples, recommendations for self-defense, and a listing of consumer resources.
A New Pandemic: How Scammers Exploit Vulnerabilities Created By the Covid Crisis – Con-artists take advantage of people by playing on emotional themes. The current pandemic has created "the perfect storm" for these criminals. Learn the ABC's of Novel Coronavirus scams, how to spot and avoid them, and how to report them. Resources will be provided and there will be ample opportunity to ask questions.
Pre-registration is required for each presentation. To pre-register or for more information, contact Elliott Greenblott, AARP Vermont Fraud Watch Coordinator, at egreenblott@aarp.org. Held at 10 AM and at 7:00 PM. Attend one or the other!
