AARP Eye Center
Every two seconds in the US, someone's identity is stolen, resulting in tens of billions of dollars landing in the pockets of con artists and other unsavory criminals. AARP South Dakota is warning our members to be extra vigilant as tax season comes to a close. South Dakotans filed more than 3,200 consumer complaints of fraud and identity theft last year, 33% of which were employment or tax-related.
The AARP Fraud Watch Network is helping you take steps to protect yourself and fight back against fraud. Our week-long Operation: Stop Scams tour includes free fraud seminars and shredding services in communities all across the state:
