Fraud has reached a crisis level in NH. In 2023 the NH Attorney General’s Office of Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation Unit, doubled the size of their team (adding three new employees) to address this issue that is growing at an alarming rate.

Granite Staters rank 25th in the country for fraud and reported losses exceed $27.5M. We need to ensure Granite Staters know how to protect themselves and their loved ones from fraud AND ensure people who have been victims of fraud know how and why to report it and get the support they need.

Join AARP Fraud Expert Doug Shadel on September 24 (11 am to 12 pm) for a free webinar focused on Detecting and Preventing Fraud Against Older People. During this one-hour interactive session, Doug will take you inside the scammer’s mind, share the red flags for detecting scams in the real world, and give you tips on how to harden the target to prevent contact with 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.
