Rotary Club sponsoring Fraud Awareness Seminar

The Whitehall Rotary Club is inviting Whitehall area people to attend a short seminar on Fraud and Scams in Montana on the evening of August 29, at the Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 102 North Brooke. The session is scheduled for 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.

The featured speaker will be Tim Summers, State AARP Director for Montana.

Fraud and scams may target the older population; but, no one is immune to the calls, e-mails, and printed mail offer, threats, and other out-right lies that scammers use to get ahold of your money. From an AARP blog, Sid Kirchheimer said, “Despite the popular perception — more likely, because of it — those at highest risk of falling for a scam are millennials, not their grandparents or parents.”

Mr. Summers will review the most common ones occurring here in Montana and provide information on how to protect yourself.
