Statement by AARP Pennsylvania State Director Bill Johnston-Walsh on the passing of the former first lady of Pennsylvania:
AARP Pennsylvania State Director Bill Johnston Walsh's statement.
AARP Pennsylvania urges Pennsylvanians to use call screening as a powerful defense against scams. By letting answering machines or voicemail screen calls, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of falling for fraudulent schemes.
When it comes to fraud, knowledge is indeed power. But how can we spread that knowledge around so more people are empowered to protect themselves?
Criminals use a lot of different tactics to steal money from consumers, and one of those tactics is the promise of free money. This summer the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is warning taxpayers to be on the lookout for a new scam mailing that tries to mislead people into believing the IRS owes them a refund.
It’s hurricane season – along with wildfire and flooding season - and one of the things that often comes with all of the personal losses from a natural disaster are fake charities offering to help.
Following extreme weather events, dubious contractors and outright scammers descend on affected communities, offering quick, cheap fixes. They canvas neighborhoods in search of “work” that they may or may not even attempt to do. Many will specifically target older homeowners who they perceive as more likely to have savings.
Nearly 200 Philadelphians joined AARP for a free town hall event on the myths and facts of Social Security, as part of a national public education campaign.
Staying a step ahead of the criminal scammers is like playing a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. But if you know about a specific scam, research shows you are 80% less likely to engage with it. But how can you stay up to speed? One great tool is the AARP Fraud Watch Network’s Watchdog Alerts.
