Tomorrow morning I am teaming up with Farmers State Bank of Western Illinois and the Illinois Attorney General’s office to host a scam prevention seminar.
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, local sheriffs 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. Local sheriffs will attend and discuss scams they are seeing throughout their counties.
Join us at the Oxford American Legion in Alpha from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Tuesday to find out how to protect yourself and your loved ones from being scammed.
