Learn how to protect your savings from scams and fraud with Iowa Fraud Fighters
Con artists target people age 60 and older swindling more than 7 million Americans out of almost $3 billion each year. Northeast RSVP and the Iowa Insurance Division will be presenting an “Iowa Fraud Fighters” seminar on Thursday, April 30, 5:30-6:30 PM at Robey Memorial Library in Waukon.
The free hour-long seminar teaches consumers how to shield their savings from scammers and fraudulent investment offers. Presenters will share tips on recognizing and reporting fraud, explain how to use the “Double-check before you invest” program, and share stories of people who have lost their life savings to fraud.
Iowa Fraud Fighter seminars are being presented by NEI RSVP volunteers with assistance from local sponsors. Northeast Iowa RSVP matches volunteers age 55 and up with opportunities to serve at non-profits in Allamakee, Howard and Winneshiek counties. The April 30 seminar is co-sponsored by Robey Memorial Library.
