Scams, fraud, and exploitation have harmful consequences for anyone, but the impact can be especially devastating for older adults, who may not be able to earn back what they’ve lost. In addition to financial loss, many victims of fraud also experience psychological harm. In this session, panelists will highlight free resources available for libraries to help patrons combat fraud and share experiences hosting effective fraud prevention workshops in partnership with local law enforcement. You’ll leave feeling empowered to help older adults in the community protect themselves from the constant pressure of fraudsters.
