OSKALOOSA — Scams are becoming more sophisticated every day—and they’re costing Americans billions of dollars each year. A FREE educational Stop the Scammers event will be held in Oskaloosa next month to help protect the community from these scams. Con artists target people aged 60 and older, swindling millions of Americans out of almost $28.3 billion each year*. Don’t become another statistic and protect yourself from fraud.
This FREE educational session, hosted in partnership with the Iowa Department of Insurance and Financial Services and AARP, will provide:
- Real-world examples of current scams
- Tips to protect yourself and your loved ones
- Guidance on how to report fraud
- Resources from professionals fighting scams every day
Across Iowa, these events have already helped stop millions of dollars from reaching scammers by educating residents.
The event in Oskaloosa is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, from 12pm-1:30pm at the Environmental Learning Center.
