Scams
Seniors are often the target of many different types of financial exploitation. Recognizing this, the Council on Aging studied many of the more common scams affecting seniors both nationally and in the Middle Tennessee area. Our Community Assessment Committee heard from law enforcement officials, bankers, social workers and others working with seniors to learn what seniors are facing on a daily basis and what steps need to be taken to help them protect themselves. A seminar was held and a brochure developed for seniors and professionals working with them to make them more aware of ways to become alert to scams. Since 2008, a monthly Scam of the Month e-letter has been sent to more than 600 montly subscribers. Learn more....
