Join us for a screening of “The Founder” (2016) starring Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch.&nbsp;Rated PG-13. 1 hour and 55 minutes. Adults.
"The Founder" is a sharp biographical drama that tells the story of Ray Kroc, a struggling salesman who turns a small California burger joint run by the McDonald brothers into a global fast-food empire.

Today’s fraud landscape blends technology with emotional manipulation, making scams harder to spot and easier for criminals to scale. The Fairfax Scam Jam unpacks two of the fastest‑growing threats: romance‑based investment schemes and cryptocurrency fraud. Scammers often initiate contact through friendly wrong‑number texts, dating apps, and social media, then spend weeks or months building trust. Once a relationship feels established, victims are encouraged to “invest” in cryptocurrency, gold, or foreign currency through fraudulent platforms operated by criminal organizations.
You’ll learn how these schemes operate step‑by‑step, the psychological tactics scammers use, and the financial and emotional devastation they leave behind. Presenters will share actionable tools for recognizing early warning signs, having preventative conversations with loved ones, reporting fraud, and recovering when possible. Whether you're new to digital safety or a seasoned advocate, this year’s Scam Jam will give you the knowledge you need to stay a step ahead of scammers.
The 9th Annual Fairfax Scam Jam is a community collaboration between AARP Virginia and the Fairfax County Silver Shield Anti-Scam Program.
Resource Fair exhibitors will be on hand until 1 p.m. Representatives from county, state and federal agencies will be available to answer your fraud and scam questions one-on-one.
Complimentary lunch is provided to registered guests. &nbsp;
