Stamford Green Seniors Learn About Scams From Dr Bank

One of the most frequent targets of online, email and phone scams are senior citizens. DR Bank hosted a recent financial education seminar at Stamford Green, which provides housing for seniors in Stamford. Our team of Ann Mitrione and Art Murphy presented the seminar, which covered a range of financial topics, but focused a good amount of time on how seniors can avoid becoming the victims of online and phone scams.

Some of the most common scams were reviewed. Mitrione and Murphy talked about how to recognize when you are being targeted and how to avoid losing money.

They also discussed what seniors should do if they become the victim of a scam. The seminar apparently helped because in the week following the seminar, Stamford Green reported that a resident had been targeted but was able to avoid becoming a victim because of what they had learned during our presentation.

We are available to host seminars at other senior living facilities anywhere in Fairfield County. For more information, call (800) 361-5363 or click here.
