In 2020 the AARP FraudWatch Network received more than 72,000 (yes, 72 thousand) reports of fraud from across the country. Many of the victims receive follow up calls from AARP staff and trained volunteers to offer support and guidance to protect themselves from further fraud.  Helen Savage, a trained FraudWatch volunteer joins us to highlight some of the cases when fraud occurred. On their face, these situations may sound legitimate, but fraud has occurred through postings for employment opportunities, apartment/house rentals, personal profiles on dating websites and more.  Learn about these situations and how to protect yourself.
