Senior Scams: What You Need to Know

December 5, 2019 - Mount Alverna Village

Common scans against seniors

Parma, OH – December 5, 2019 – Mount Alverna Village in Parma, part of the Franciscan Communities, is hosting an informational presentation, in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, titled “Senior Scams: What You Need to Know” on Tuesday, December 17 at 11:30 on their campus at 6765 State Road in Parma, Ohio.

Unfortunately, seniors are the most frequent targets of fraud scams. They may be lonely, willing to listen and more trusting than younger individuals. Many fraud schemes are performed over the telephone, door-to-door or online. Join us for lunch and discover the schemes attributed to credit cards, sweepstakes or contests, banking or wire transfers, insurance and more!

A delicious soup & sandwich lunch will be provided. Seating is limited, so please RSVP by December 16 to 440-663-3301 to mmyoung@franciscancommunities.org. Bring a friend and receive an extra door prize ticket.
