This week, a word from AARP
As 2019 ends, it is a good time to pause and reflect on all of the work that goes into keeping Virginians safe from scams and fraud. Over the course of this year, AARP Virginia has shared tips with thousands of people about how to stay safe from online to telephone scams.
AARP has helped older Virginians stay safe by shredding thousands of pounds of documents containing personal information, and has worked with law enforcement partners and community partners to host Scam Jams and Shred Fests.
AARP volunteers have given fraud prevention presentations across the state and have reached a large online audience through email alerts and social media messages.
However, while we sit back and catch our breath a bit over the holiday season, we know this important work does not end. Scammers will not stop so neither can we, so look for us in your community in 2020.
