About The Money: Scambusters

Scambuster Special

Have you heard about the “Grandma Scam” or the midnight phone call about fraud on your credit card?

In this episode, we focus on the latest scams that may be targeting you or your loved ones. We’ll see how AARP is using the cons’ own tactics to warn potential victims, and learn from one daughter’s firsthand experience how hard it can be to save a parent who’s been drawn into the web.

Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna will give advice on protecting vulnerable adults; Washington AARP Director Doug Shadel explains how to avoid investment fraud; and Assistant Attorney General Mary Lobdell tells used car buyers how to avoid “bushing,” “curbstoning,” and other common schemes.
