The “Smart Seniors” Program focuses on common scams and frauds that target older adults – the warning signs, how to avoid becoming a victim, and where to seek help if you think you’re a victim. There is special emphasis on COVID-related scams, as well as on common telephone scams such as the “grandparent scam,” the “Internal Revenue Service scam” and the “foreign lottery scam.” The program will also cover issues such as identity theft, romance scams and Internet safety. Participants will be provided with “do’s” and “don’ts” to stay safe in their daily lives. Speaker will be Gary S. Brown, Elder Abuse Coordinator for New York Attorney General Letitia James. Chat with the Expert series is hosted by NYC Department for the Aging.
