Scams & Fraud

Scammers are always at work, trying to get your personal information or your money. And with the holidays upon us, there is a wide array of holiday sales scams or other tricks by con artists out there.

AARP South Dakota advises residents to be cautious anytime a stranger comes knocking, especially if the visitor is trying to sell you goods or services.

Holiday season is supposed to be joyful, but scammers can take the happy out of the holidays.

Scammers follow the headlines and take advantage of them when they can. Public desire to support Ukraine in this critical time of need is no exception.
