To educate seniors on the latest scams targeting them online and over the phone, the U.S. Attorney’s Office is partnering with the Carmi Public Library to host a fraud prevention seminar.

“Elder fraud is a major concern nationwide, as criminals target seniors who may be more susceptible to manipulation,” said U.S. Attorney Rachelle Aud Crowe. “To educate seniors on current fraud schemes, a prosecutor with experience charging these scammers will be at the Carmi Public Library to give an interactive and informational presentation on ways to avoid becoming a victim.”

The presentation highlights information on online scams, fraud schemes targeting seniors and details on cases prosecuted in the Southern District of Illinois. The event will start at 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17 at the Carmi Public Library, located at 103 Slocumb St. in Carmi.

The event is free and open to the public.
