Seniors invited to free fraud prevention event Thursday, July 25, 2013 workshop at Taylor County Extension Office is free; lunch will be provided By Kelly May, Public Information Officer News from Kentucky State Government Dept. of Financial Institiutions (DFI) FRANKFORT, KY (July 22, 2013) - Senior citizens in the Campbellsville and surrounding area are invited to a free workshop on fraud prevention 8am-1pmCT/9am-2pmET, Thursday, July 25, 2013, at the Taylor County Extension Office, 1143 South Columbia Avenue, Campbellsville, KY, and may register by calling now by calling 800-223-2579. Lunch will be provided. The event's aim is to teach seniors how to protect themselves from investment fraud, lending fraud, mail fraud, identity theft and scams that target seniors. Participants who register by calling 800-223-2579 will be provided with lunch and take-home materials. "This is a wonderful opportunity for Kentucky citizens to learn how to protect themselves in these tumultuous economic times," said Charles Vice, commissioner for the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI). "I encourage seniors to take advantage of this free and unbiased information to help guard against financial fraud." AARP research shows that baby boomers and senior citizens are natural targets for a wide range of unscrupulous practices because they have established savings, good credit and money to invest. The Senior Scam Jam workshop is designed to raise awareness about the techniques con artists use, so seniors can recognize the tactics and protect themselves from fraud. This free public program is brought to the Campbellsville area by DFI and its partners, including the Taylor County Extension Service. The workshop sessions will be conducted by DFI, the Kentucky AARP, the Kentucky Attorney General's Office, the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Better Business Bureau. These agencies will provide information on avoiding fraud and protecting seniors and their finances, including contact information of who to call for help. Before investing, check with DFI, Kentucky's state securities regulator, to verify if the investment opportunity is registered and if the seller is licensed. Call 800-223-2579 or visit http://kfi.ky.gov/public/Pages/invest.aspx. DFI, http://kfi.ky.gov, is an agency in the Public Protection Cabinet.
