May is Older Americans Month, a time to build resilience and connections among older adults. Unfortunately, scammers often target older people for fraud and identity theft. Join the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 2 National Preparedness Division for a webinar on scams targeting seniors, including coronavirus scams, identity theft, and Medicare fraud.

Speakers:

Robin E. Eichen, senior attorney at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), will discuss how to recognize and avoid scams targeting older individuals and resources available from the FTC to report and recover from fraud.
Charles Clarkson, project director of the Senior Medicare Patrol of New Jersey, will discuss how to prevent Medicare fraud, waste, and abuse.
