Frauds & Scams Discussion

Financial scams target older adults! Someone was scammed out of $25,000. Another elderly individual lost over $120,000. These are well educated people and they were financially abused. It can happen to anyone and older people are targeted most frequently. Sadly, our area has one of the highest per capita rates of these incidents. No one is ever completely safe from scams. The BEST thing you can do is get educated and learn how to protect yourselves. Mr. Ron Kohl is the man to do it! Ron is a “Crime Prevention Specialist” with 30 years of experience. He has a wealth of information to share and he deeply cares! Don’t miss this great presentation hosted by the Resident Services Committee on Tuesday, August 23, from 10:30-11:45AM, in the Mt. Ashland Room. This presentation will be interactive and empowering, so bring your questions and learn! If you want to see how educated you are on identity theft, go to the Clubhouse Front Desk and take Ron’s quiz What Is Your Identity Theft Probability Score? and see how you do. Copies of the quiz will be available for pick up on Friday, August 12.
