This event is part of AARP's Nationwide Virtual Community Center.
Ways to outwit and stop fraudsters and scammers who target our veterans and military families.
About this Event
One out of every three American veterans has had a scammer try and steal their benefits. This statistic highlights how veterans, active-duty service members and their families are nearly 40% more likely to lose money to scams and fraud. With a little knowledge, you can avoid this fate.
In this 30-minute webinar, hear from Terri Miller of the Federal Trade Commission and Juanita Jimenez-Soto of AARP to talk about what the largest risks are for the military community and how to protect yourself from fraudulent activity.
