Barrington, IL…State Representative Kent Gaffney (R-Lake Barrington) will be hosting a series of events bringing together experts in the field of identity theft from the Illinois Attorney General’s office to provide information on how those nearing or in retirement can protect themselves from financial predatory schemes.
Too often scam artists perceive senior citizens as vulnerable and wealthy due to the ability to access retirement finances, and are thus targeted at a higher rate,” said Gaffney. “These speakers will provide an educational presentation on ways you can recognize situations that pose the risk of identity theft as well as what to do once you are already a victim.”
