AARP Connecticut

Starting today, May 14, AARP is launching Countdown to 90 Years — a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025.

Scams take many forms so being aware and understanding the variety of ways criminals use to steal money can help you stay a step ahead of scams.

Scammers are continually perfecting their scams, getting more sophisticated, learning new techniques with new technology, and honing their methods to better manipulate their targets.
