 With scams and fraud against older adults on the rise, it’s more important
than ever for seniors to be aware. Losing money or possessions to scams,
fraud, and exploitation can be especially devastating to seniors, who may
not be able to earn back what they’ve lost. The Better Business Bureau
(BBB) serving Metro Atlanta, Athens and NE Georgia, AARP Georgia and the
Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS), are sponsoring a webinar
highlighting how older adults can protect themselves against scams and
financial exploitation.

 Participating in this webinar will help you:
• Learn about common scams and fraud targeting older adults of all incomes
• Gain familiarity with resources to help protect consumers from scams and
fraud
• Find out more about AARP’s Fraud Watch Network and BBB’s Scam Tracker,
both free resources to report fraud and get guidance if you’ve been
targeted or defrauded.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
