‘Talking about scams with older adults’ Webinar

Do you work with active older adults, ages 65 and older? Chances are good that scammers are targeting your patrons. The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) “Pass It On” campaign is all about starting a conversation about scams. It includes articles, presentations, bookmarks, activities, and videos —all designed to get your older patrons talking about scams and how to prevent them. To learn more about this FREE resource from the FTC, join us for a webinar on December 4th at 10:30 AM. We will walk through our FREE materials and how they can be used for programming and talking with your older patrons.
