The AARP Fraud Watch Network is educating Oklahomans throughout the state about how they can protect themselves and their families from frauds and scams.

The conferences begin at 8:00 AM and breakfast will be provided. Please locate the conference nearest you and register for it by clicking this link or by calling 1-800-763-2828.
