About this event
Scammers reach us via mail, telephone, email, our electronic devices, and in
person. Responding to an increase in scams targeting the elderly, the Massachusetts
Attorney General’s Office (AGO) developed a community education program called
Savvy Seniors. The materials and program summarize the most common forms
scams, advises on how avoid and recognize them, and offers guidance on what to do if
you think you think you have been scammed. If you’re concerned about scams,
attending the program might help.
Presenter: Barbara Kessler works for the AGOs office as Coordinator, Community
Engagement Division for the Central MA Region. She has presented the Savvy Senior
program numerous times. Barbara is motivated by the desire to communicate, to create community, and to connect to the common good.
