About the event
It starts with an urgent pop-up warning on a computer screen, claiming a bank account has been compromised. Minutes later, a phone call from a friendly "tech support representative" offers to help move savings to a "safe government alias account." In seconds, a life's savings can vanish. Schemes like the "Phantom Hacker" scam—along with AI voice cloning and imposter fraud—are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting older adults and resulting in billions in losses nationwide each year.
Elder fraud isn't just a financial threat; it takes an emotional toll on older adults and their families. Guard Your Peace & Pocketbook: Navigating Scams with Awareness & Support is a community event designed to give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to protect yourself and your loved ones.
