If you’re like a lot of Americans, you spent a lot this holiday season and you might be in the mood to tackle your debt in the New Year. Getting yourself out of debt is hard work. It takes time and discipline.

It’s New Year’s Resolution time. It’s time to make a commitment to be fraud aware in 2020. For the next 52 weeks, like clockwork, scammers will be on the prowl looking to steal our money or sensitive information. While there is no way to stop these attempts from happening, we can all take steps to make sure we don’t fall victim. Remember the basics: only share sensitive information when needed with people who you know and trust – like your doctor. Don’t click on web links from untrusted emailers, and if someone asks you to make a payment using a gift card, it is a scam.

RICHMOND—AARP Virginia State Director Jim Dau released the following statement today in response to House Majority Forward’s citation of AARP in political advertisements supporting Rep. Elaine Luria and Rep. Abigail Spanberger:

“It wasn’t what I was expecting,” was the opinion of many audience members who attended the Dec. 14th AARP SEVa’s Region Movies For Grown Ups event held at the Virginia Beach Regal Columbus Theater.

“You can’t take it with you.”

It’s Friday afternoon as Betty Douglass pulls into the driveway at the home of Maya Huber to give her a ride to an ophthalmologist. It’s a scene played out daily across Northern Virginia: Volunteers giving free rides to older residents who have either given up or restricted their driving.
