Joyce will be conducting Senior Crime Prevention University, an interactive training session presented throughout the commonwealth by a newly created Elder Abuse Unit. The program enlightens seniors about the latest scams used by con artists, tells them how to avoid becoming a victim, and arms citizens with important consumer information. A new addition to the presentation includes important facts on identity theft, specifically how individuals can safeguard their good credit and protect their personal financial information.
Every year, across Pennsylvania and the United States, senior citizens fall victim to many kinds of consumer fraud, especially home improvement, telemarketing, foreign lottery and sweepstakes scams. With 2.5 million residents over the age of 60 and the third highest percentage of senior citizens in the nation, Pennsylvania is a desirable place for con artists. With that in mind, the Attorney General expanded efforts to educate more seniors how to better protect themselves against fraud through his Senior Crime Prevention University program.
