Today is National Senior Fraud Awareness Day.
Earlier this week at the Wallingford Senior Center, I was proud to have the AARP Fraud Watch Network, the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, and the Wallingford, CT Police Department as panelists for an important conversation on protecting seniors and families from scams and financial fraud.
Scammers are constantly evolving, which is why awareness and education are so important. Events like these help residents recognize warning signs, avoid scams, and know where to turn for help.
Consumers can report incidents online to the Department of Consumer Protection at ct.gov/DCP/Complaint (portal.ct.gov/dcp/common-elements/common-elements/fraud-and-scams) or by calling 800-842-2649
