According to the FBI, con artists target older Americans to steal their banking information and identities. AARP Alabama is helping residents avoid becoming victims in many ways, including by hosting online tutorials, known as Fraud Watch Fridays, to provide details of common scams and how to steer clear of them. The sessions are being held at noon, on June 4 and 18, and on July 2, 16 and 30.
Scams cost Alabamians millions of dollars a year, and older adults are especially vulnerable. AARP Alabama is helping residents avoid becoming another statistic.
