Senior scam prevention
Don't get scammed seniors! According to the National Council on Aging, financial scams targeting Seniors have become so prevalent that they're considered “the crime of the 21st century.” In honor of declaring May as “Older Americans Month” in Santa Clara County, on Friday, May 23 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. the Office of District Attorney Jeffrey F. Rosen and I will be co-hosting a free “Scam Prevention for Seniors” event for South County seniors at the Gilroy Senior Center, 7371 Hanna St. Gilroy. Seniors, their families, and caregivers are invited to come learn about the most recent scams happening in our area and how to protect themselves. The Director of Mediation Services, Consumer Protection Unit of the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office will discuss some of the ways that criminals will try to fool you and take your money or your identity.
