Did you know there were nearly 8,000 consumer complaints of ID theft and fraud from Nebraskans in 2014?
Whether it’s over the phone, through the mail, online or even at your door, con artists are constantly scheming to get you and your loved ones to open their wallets. The AARP Fraud Watch Network helps arm you with the tools you need to fight fraud and protect your personal information.
We have trained volunteer educators to help Nebraskans protect themselves from fraud and scams. The volunteers are ready to speak to community groups about how to recognize and avoid the most common scams along with steps you can take to guard your personal information. We're also prepared to discuss how to stay safe online.
Says volunteer educator Kathy Beers from Omaha, “If you don’t think you could be a victim, think again. During my presentations, I have heard people say ‘really, this just can’t be.’ But fraudsters can hurt anybody and they do.”
To schedule a fraud presentation for your organization, or if you are interested in being trained as a volunteer presenter, send email to aarpne@aarp.org or call 1-866-389-5651.
