Join us at the 2013 Fraud Prevention and Safety Summit

The AARP Foundation in Colorado is working with a variety of community partners to present the 2013 Fraud Prevention and Safety Summit—a one-day, no-cost event to empower you with tools and information to stay safe and avoid fraud before it happens.
