The event will arm you and your family with the tools you need to avoid current frauds and scams in Delaware. Get inside the mind of a con artist. Don’t be a victim.

If you have old tax documents, credit card bills, bank statements and the like, bring them to the  AARP Shred Fest and watch them be destroyed safely and securely by a Shred Truck in the parking lot. There is no charge to have bags or boxes of personal documents shredded at the event.

The event will feature a live remote with iHeart Radio, refreshments and fun. A panel of experts from Delaware’s Division of Fraud and Delmarva Power will be on hand to provide alerts on common scams happening right now and how to avoid them. Bring your questions for the experts, and get a giveaway when you sign up for the Fraud Watch Network. You can also sign up for fraud alerts in your community at www.FraudWatchNetwork.org.

Get there early to dispose of your sensitive documents, sign up for the Fraud Watch Network, and then join us under the tent for some information and FUN.
