As the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) leads Identity Theft Awareness Week this January, AARP is reminding U.S. Virgin Islands residents that identity theft remains a growing threat across the nation — and that our island communities are not immune.
An AARP-sponsored report from Javelin Strategy & Research shows that American adults lost $47 billion to identity fraud and scams in 2024. Given USVI’s frequent use of mail services, its high reliance on digital banking, and recurring reports of phishing and impersonation scams targeting local consumers, heightened awareness is essential.
“Social Security numbers in particular are like gold to criminals hoping to perpetrate identity fraud, which often leaves victims to ‘face a daunting and frustrating process to reclaim their identity,’” said Bill Sweeney, AARP Senior Vice President for Government Affairs.
Residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands can take practical steps to reduce risk and protect their personal information.

At AARP Virgin Islands, we are committed to uplifting the cultural traditions that strengthen our community and connect generations. This past weekend, the 27th Annual Bordeaux Farmers Agricultural & Cultural Vegan Food Fair on St. Thomas once again showcased the resilience, creativity, and agricultural brilliance of our Virgin Islands community. As proud supporters of the event, we were especially honored to sponsor its beloved highlight — the Coal Pot Lighting Competition.
This year, the celebration was even more meaningful for our AARP family: Mr. Rabsatt — an AARP VI volunteer and proud resident of St. John — won the Coal Pot Lighting Competition, demonstrating exceptional skill, cultural pride, and mastery of this cherished tradition.

UU. con asistencia para mejorar el bienestar y la calidad de vida de los habitantes mayores de las Islas Vírgenes, de quienes los cuidan y también de nuestra comunidad. como un todo. Si bien la metáfora es un poco "florida", la intención se mantiene. AARP no es solo para jubilados. Es para personas reales que tienen preocupaciones reales sobre la creciente población mundial de adultos mayores. Esto incluye a los más de 22,000 miembros de AARP del territorio, que es un grupo demográfico extraordinario porque nuestros miembros son aproximadamente el 25 por ciento de la población.

English | La responsabilidad de un notario es evaluar y examinar la autenticidad de los documentos importantes al ser testigo de la disposición de los firmantes y garantizar su conocimiento de la documentación. Estos documentos incluyen, entre otros, escrituras de propiedad, testamentos y poderes notariales. Aquí en las Islas Vírgenes de los EE. UU., los notarios públicos están bajo la atenta vigilancia del Vicegobernador y una medida reciente de la 34.ª Legislatura de las Islas Vírgenes de los EE. UU. ha llegado al escritorio del Gobernador Albert Bryan y garantizará que los notarios sean más accesibles. Esto es extremadamente importante ahora que COVID-19 ha puesto una pausa prolongada en la interacción personal. Y aunque el gobierno está levantando lentamente los mandatos de uso de mascarillas y otras restricciones, todavía es necesario ser cauteloso.
Español | A notary’s responsibility is to evaluate and scrutinize the authenticity of important documents by witnessing the willingness of signers and ensuring their awareness of documentation. These documents include but are not limited to property deeds, wills and powers of attorney. Here in the U.S. Virgin Islands., notaries public are under the careful watch of the Lieutenant Governor and a recent measure by the 34th Legislature of the U.S. Virgin Islands has now reached Gov. Albert Bryan’s desk and will ensure notaries are more accessible. This is extremely important now that COVID-19 has put an elongated pause on personal interaction. And though the government is slowly lifting mask mandates and other restrictions, there is still a need for caution.
A new law backed by AARP Virgin Islands should help the region alleviate a serious nursing shortage.
