Recently, new reports of a medical device scam have been surfacing in Alabama. Like a similar scam we’ve previously reported, these robocallers at times claim to be representing AARP.
AARP Alabama is partnering with WBRC Fox 6 in Birmingham to bring Shred-A-Thons to several communities around the Birmingham and north central Alabama area. Area residents can bring up to 3 bags or file boxes of personal documents for shredding. Identity theft experts recommend shredding any old documents that contain account numbers, Social Security numbers, or other personal financial information.
AARP’s chapters in Alabama will be in full swing this fall, providing opportunities for community service and social activities. Chapters are the strategic link between members and communities around our state and AARP’s programs and activities in Alabama. And members may also have the opportunity to meet their local elected officials to share opinions on issues that matter to their community.
