Fraud Fighter Carlo Gamba Honored by Attorney General

Carlo Gamba receives Attorney General’s Justice Award for Senior Protection

Congratulations to retired teacher and longtime AARP volunteer Carlo Gamba, who has displayed outstanding work educating seniors on how to protect themselves from identity theft, investment fraud, or other telephone, email, and online scams.

Carlo has become an avid volunteer spokesman for AARP’s free service called the Fraud Watch Network. He travels around Rhode Island leading workshops and informing residents on the latest scams, using his teaching acumen to reinforce prevention tips; explain the latest breaking scams; listen to people as they share their experiences; and ensure they sign up to receive “Watchdog” Alerts.

In addition, he attends senior expos and other senior outreach events to grow the community of smart and informed citizens who are taking action to protect themselves, their families, and others from fraud, identity theft, and scams.

"As a former teacher, Carlo has never stopped educating others," said AARP Rhode Island State Director Kathleen Connell.

"He has gone above and beyond the call to duty in helping others learn how to combat against con artists and their trickery. Carlo is a proven leader who has diligently taken on the mission to ensure Rhode Islanders are safeguarded against fraud.

"This is a very well-deserved honor and we thank him from the bottom of our hearts."
