In August, AARP testified before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging to spotlight a growing threat to Americans: fraud carried out by translational organized crime groups. Operating openly abroad, these networks are draining billions of dollars from victims, local communities and economies every year. Older adults are navigating a minefield of increasingly sophisticated scams that threaten not only their lifetime savings but even their homes, independence, and health. Money that was saved for retirement is instead supporting illicit activity around the world.
On September 22 at 10:00am MT, John Yaros, Idaho Department of Finance Securities Bureau Chief, will speak to Idahoans about current trends regarding fraud and identity theft and how to avoid becoming the next victim of a costly scam.
