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.

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.

Summer is officially here which means door-to-door sales crews are too. But buyer beware because what they’re selling isn’t always legit.
On July 26, AARP Pennsylvania will sponsor a Town Hall Forum, which will be a unique opportunity to hear from leading experts who will explain how Social Security provides fundamental financial security – and not just in retirement.
