Get the Inside Scoop On Scams and Fraud in VT



AARP knows that fraud will never be eliminated entirely, but there is a lot more that can be done to arm consumers with tools to detect and avoid fraud.  That’s why AARP launched its Fraud Watch Network because of the serious fraud threats here in Utah, where it’s a multi-billion dollar industry, as it is all across the country.  Fraud isn’t just limited to “too good to be true” offers.  According to recent report by Javelin Strategy and Research, more than $20 billion was stolen from approximately 13 million identity theft victims in 2012.   Whether it’s over the phone, through the mail, online or even at your door, scam artists are out there and they are looking for new ways to get you and your loved ones to open your wallets.

That’s why the AARP Fraud Watch Network is designed to give Utahns access to information to protect themselves against fraud and theft.  It’s free and available to anyone, regardless of age or AARP membership.  The Network allows people to sign up to receive alerts about active scams in their communities, provides resources to help them spot and avoid con artists, and directs people to local events that may be useful in the area to protect against fraud.
