Scams & Fraud

The biggest shopping season of the year is, unfortunately, also the biggest scamming season. Criminals are out in force during the holidays trying to steal your money and personal information. Learn about ways to help protect you and your loved ones.

If you’ve been the victim of a scam and don’t know where to turn, we’re here to help! Volunteers from our Fraud Watch Network Helpline will be standing by to talk to you live during our first-ever, online “Fraudcast” – a special event we’ve planned just for you!

In the era of identity theft, it's more important than ever to be mindful of which documents you throw in the trash.

Every two second’s someone’s identity is stolen.  Last year, 16.7 million Americans were victimized by identity fraud. Shredding sensitive documents that you no longer need is one way to protect yourself, and the AARP  Fraud Watch Network  is here to help you make that happen.

Tax season is a good time to get rid of unwanted documents to keep scammers from stealing your identity and money. AARP Louisiana offers two free shredding events next month.

Every 2 seconds, someone's identity is stolen, and vigilance and awareness is key to protecting yourself. That's why AARP is hosting two telephone town hall meetings on Thursday, February 28 to share information about government impostor scams (i.e. you get a text, call, or email from someone who says they’re with the government); the warning signs, how to protect yourself and where to go for help or additional information.
