We have all heard the stories of financial scams going around, seemingly every week. Many of us even have friends and relatives who have been harmed by a scammer. Some of the stories are truly heartbreaking.
To raise awareness of these scams and how to avoid them, I will be joining with Farmers State Bank of Western Illinois and the office of the Illinois Attorney General to present a scam prevention seminar next month.
The Attorney General’s office will provide information on scams and updates on the most current types of scams targeting all of us – at all ages.
The event will be on Tuesday August 20 from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m. at the Oxford American Legion in Alpha. I hope you can make it to this important informational event.
