Fighting Fraud: Don’t be a victim

Sophisticated con artists know how to use your own investment savvy against you. In our continuing series Fighting Fraud, we show how the typical scam victim isn’t a lonely shut-in, but often someone who has a wide knowledge of investments and finances. We talk with AARP scam expert Doug Shadel about what characteristics make you more likely to fall victim to fraud, and how to avoid being conned out of your hard-earned cash.
