Seniors are often targets of scam artists because they generally are more trusting of others and perceived to be easier to persuade. Knowledge is the best defense against these crimes. This program will not only teach you how to spot and avoid scams, but also offer resources that you can turn to if you become a victim. This program will also discuss tips for donating to charities.
