Con artists have latched on to gift cards as a convenient, untraceable form of payment in their scams. That’s why AARP Delaware supported a new law, which was sponsored by State Representative Larry Lambert, requiring retailers selling third-party gift cards to post signage alerting customers to protect themselves from gift card scams and telling them how to report it. The bill is aligned with AARP’s efforts to prevent fraud through its Fraud Watch Network, and had AARP Delaware's full support as it sailed through the Legislature and passed unanimously.

Have you ever received a call from a scammer? Hundreds of Sussex Countians learned about how to prevent frauds and scams at the AARP Fraud Fair at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. The event was a success because of the great work of our Sussex County Fraud Fighters. This dynamic group of volunteers helped generate an attendance of more than 400 Delawareans for shredding, resources, and a luncheon and panel discussion featuring Delaware leaders.
