Learn how to recognize and avoid deceptive practices.

According to True Link Financial, senior financial scams account for over $36 billion each year through fraud, exploitation and trust abuse.  The highest proportion of losses comes from deceptive yet legal tactics designed to specifically take advantage of older Americans.  Join LauRae D. Upchurch of CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union to learn the warning signs, risks and tips to keep you and your loved ones safe.
