Nationwide, scams against seniors generated billions of
dollars each year for criminals. Seniors are often targeted by scam artists
because they are generally more trusting and are perceived to be easier to
persuade. Seniors may not be aware that they have fallen for a scam until it's
too late and may avoid telling anyone for fear of losing independence by
appearing so vulnerable. Gary Johnson,
Senior Outreach Manager for the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North
Dakota, will give attendees the tools to
deal with frauds and scams directed at seniors.
