Iowa Fraud Fighters Seminar

Posted: February 20, 2024

According to new data from the Federal Trade Commission’s website, “consumers reported losing nearly $8.8 billion to fraud in 2022, an increase of more than 30 percent over the previous year”. Roger Huinker, a Northeast RSVP Volunteer trained by the Iowa Insurance Division, will be presenting an “Iowa Fraud Fighters” seminar. He will be joined by staff from Waukon State Bank, Waukon Police Department, and Decorah Tech. Join us at the Robey Memorial Library Meeting Room on February 27th at 10 AM (401 1st Ave W, Waukon). No registration is required.  Presenters will share about different types of scams, ways to identify fraud or scams, what is happening locally, and tips on how to protect yourself from being taken advantage of or what to do if you think you have been scammed. Information will be available from the Iowa Insurance Division Fraud Fighters and the Federal Trade Commission.

Northeast Iowa RSVP matches volunteers age 55 and better with opportunities to serve at non-profits in Allamakee, Howard, and Winneshiek counties.
