AARP Eye Center
AARP Fraud Watch Network Ambassador Frank Abagnale, known for his bestselling book-turned-blockbuster movie, Catch Me If You Can, has worked on fraud prevention for more than four decades with law enforcement, financial institutions and corporations. Now he is co-hosting AARP’s new podcast series, “ The Perfect Scam SM.”
Will Johnson, former Discovery Channel podcast host and producer, joins Frank, who is a former confidence man himself. The two introduce listeners to compelling personal stories from scam victims and interview experts and professional con artists to pull back the curtain on how these crooks really operate. Listeners also enjoy tips on how best to spot scams and protect their identity and hard earned money.
The weekly podcast series launched April 6 with new episodes every Friday. Upcoming shows cover the grandparent scam, the jury duty scam, the romance scam, and more. Visit www.aarp.org/theperfectscam to listen online or to find out how to subscribe to the series.
And Frank Abagnale will be coming to Fargo on July 24. You can learn more and register to attend his free public presentation here.
