Current Scams and Trends Targeting Seniors
October 8
Course # 5555.301
It’s one thing to read about it; it’s another thing when it happens to you! Join The City of San Gabriel and the Better Business Bureau for a presentation on current scams and trends targeting seniors. The presentation will be hosted at through Zoom. More information on how to login to the app or call in to the presentation will be provided once you have registered. This presentation will introduce you to the following:
- Sweepstakes, lottery and prize scams
- While the “government impostor” scam has been around for awhile, scammers are changing up their script during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Dog breeders charging suspicious fees to ship puppies that don’t exist.
- Fake Amazon shipping notifications attempting to get your credit card info.
- With wildfires raging across the state, scammers are upping their game, preying on victims and on the public’s generosity.
Speaker: Steve McFarland, President & CEO, Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles & Silicon Valley
