Don’t let a grinch steal the joy from your holiday.

AARP Louisiana is hosting a telephone town hall to teach ways to beat back fraud this year.

A December 2023 AARP report based on a survey of 1,880 U.S. consumers found that 53 percent received a fraudulent notification about a package shipment and 38 percent experienced fraud when purchasing a product through an online ad.

Frauds also occur when donating to charities, purchasing gift cards and booking travel — all common holiday activities.

The town hall is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m. Join at 855-962-1521, or watch live or afterward at facebook.com/AARPLouisiana.
