Stay Alert with Watchdog Alerts

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.

The Watchdog Alert comes twice a month to your email or phone. It lets you know about the latest scams trending across the country and how to spot and avoid them. Just getting a biweekly alert keeps you mindful of how rampant fraud is today. Check your knowledge or learn something new – and share what you know with friends and family.

To sign up for the Fraud Watch Network Watchdog Alert simply text “FWN” to 50757 or visit www.aarp.org/watchdogalerts.

Be a fraud fighter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam.
