AARP in The Virgin Islands, in collaboration with AARP Puerto Rico, is hosting a Fraud Training and Awareness series to educate people about how to spot the warning signs of scams, elder abuse and financial exploitation and how you can protect yourself and your family.

The first training, Fraud in the Aftermath of a Disaster, will explore such dangers as phony offers of state or federal aid, fake property inspectors and contractors and fraudulent charitable solicitations. The event features presenters from the Department of Justice Criminal Division - National Center for Disaster Fraud, FEMA Caribbean Region Disaster Fraud Division, Virgin Islands Emergency Management Agency and the Puerto Rico Emergency Management Agency.

Future sessions are scheduled for Thursday, October 26, and Monday and Tuesday, December 11 and 12, 2023.
