At AARP, we constantly track the latest fraud scams to stay one step ahead of scammers. Every year, one in five adults over the age of 50 are victims of financial exploitation, with each losing an average of $120,000. Financial institutions lose more than a billion dollars a year in deposits due to the exploitation of Americans over 50.

Fraud can also be a family affair. And victims are often reluctant to report the crimes committed by their loved ones.

ALBANY, N.Y. – AARP New York State Director Beth Finkel issued the following statement today on the state Senate passing S.488 (Senator Nathalia Fernandez), which would require prescription drug manufacturers to notify the attorney general of arrangements between pharmaceutical companies resulting in the delay of the introduction of generic medications. The legislation has been introduced in the Assembly by Assemblymember Emily Gallagher (A.2289).

AARP New York volunteers are a dynamic group of people using skills they’ve cultivated. They work to improve the lives of fellow New Yorkers — and not just folks age 50 and older. They may attend a hip hop concert and hand out fliers about Medicare. They might lend a hand at food drives around Thanksgiving. Or they may travel to Albany to make sure the governor and state legislators are aware of vital issues, like caregiving support and unaffordable prescription drug prices. Whether you love meeting new people, working on projects that matter to your community, or speaking up on issues that impact people 50 and older, AARP has a role for you.
