Scammers steal billions of dollars from unsuspecting consumers every year. The impact on victims and their families can be financially and emotionally devastating, especially for older Americans.

Join us on October 23 (10-11 am) at the Millyard Museum (200 Bedford Street, Ste 103) in Manchester. This events, hosted by the AARP NH Speakers Bureau will help you to protect yourself and your loved ones. There will be yummy munchies too! We’ll explore:

  • Fraud Trends – Understanding how much fraud is out there and what it looks like.
  • Changing the Narrative – How we talk about fraud matters – words matter.
  • Prevention – Knowing and practicing prevention strategies to avoid becoming a target.
  • Resources – How to access and share up-to-date tools and resources about fraud identification and prevention, and where to go if you or someone you love has become a victim.

Following our presentation, you’ll hear from Manchester Police Detective Ray Lamy and Officer Steve Duquette about current scams in the greater Manchester area as well as how to detect and report scams.

No matter your age, this is critical info for everyone! Scammers are only getting more savvy in their techniques and the best way to spot a scam is to stop a scam.

AARP created the Fraud Watch Network to empower consumers to spot and avoid scams, and to provide support and guidance to victims and their families when fraud happens. In addition to attending sessions like this today, you can find a wealth of resources at aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork.
