Tele-Townhall with Kate Kleinert and Paul Greenwood | Thursday, Nov. 30 at 9:30 a.m.
Scammers steal tens of billions of dollars a year, and among their hardest hit victims are older adults. Many are left penniless, bewildered and alone, yet don’t report the crime out of embarrassment, or they try but are turned away from law enforcement. Join us for a candid conversation with romance scam victim Kate Kleinert about the true emotional and physical toll of experiencing fraud, as well as why we should (and can) do more to investigate and prosecute fraud criminals. While many will receive a call, you can ensure your ability to participate by calling into the tele-townhall at 1-855-962-1463.
