Avoiding Telephone & Internet Scams

October 8 at 10 AM
Older adults are increasingly the targets of scam artists on the telephone who use lies, deception, and fear tactics to convince the older adult to send them money or provide personal account information. The Do-Not-Call registry may reduce calls from telemarketers representing legitimate businesses; however it will stop criminal telemarketers from calling.
