Join the Zoom CHPV Wednesday Drop-in.<br /><br />This is a scary time for all of us and especially frightening for isolated seniors. Thousands of scammers and thieves are taking advantage of public fear and confusion around the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak to sell fake goods and services as well as to load malware onto people’s phones and computers. Vulnerable seniors are a top target for these fraudsters. Learn how to protect yourself by being aware of the fake products and services that claim to treat or cure coronavirus, provide financial help, or map the virus’ spread. These scams are happening via telephone, text, email, social media and even in person. This discussion is presented by Danielle McCain, JD, Associate Director, John Marshall Law School, Legal Writing Resource Center, UIC. <br /><br />Enjoy Your Own Brown Bag While Listening and Watching.<br /><br />Email info@chpv.org for further information and Zoom Meeting ID.<br /><br />All are Welcome.
