Our Satellite Club at Noble's Pond hosted a vital meeting featuring Patrick Malone, Special Investigator from the Delaware Department of Justice's Fraud and Consumer Protection Division! Residents of Nobles Pond learned crucial information about current scams.
The discussion covered everything from prevalent gift card scams (remember to report them to local police & the FTC!), to the rise of robocalls, identity theft prevention (shred those documents!), and avoiding fraud with solar power, moving companies, and home improvement contractors. He even shared details on recent massive frauds, such as a $2 million romance scam and a $1 million GM fraud.
Key Takeaways & What YOU Can Do:
Stop Robocalls: Report suspicious robocalls to the Do Not Call Registry.
Monitor Your Credit: Regularly check your credit reports for any signs of identity theft.
Vet Contractors: Be cautious! You can always check the registration of independent contractors and review BBB complaints.
Stay safe and informed! #RotaryService #ConsumerProtection #FraudPrevention #DelawareDOJ #NoblesPond #rid7630 #CommunitySafety
