Kifowit Hosted Fraud Seminar to Help Seniors Avoid Scams

AURORA, Ill. – Continuing her efforts to help protect seniors from identity theft, state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, hosted a free Identity Theft Seminar with AARP on Wednesday, April 16th at the Holiday Inn Express in Oswego.

“My goal in hosting this seminar was to provide area seniors with the knowledge they need to become better protected from identity theft,” Kifowit said. “The information discussed today will help many in our community keep their financial assets secured. I would like to thank AARP, Chick-Fil-A, and State’s Attorney Eric Weis for helping make this a successful event.”  

Kifowit’s Senior Fraud Seminar presented attendees with different ways on how to make identity protection a part of their everyday lives. Topics discussed at the seminar included information about identity theft and common scams.  Representatives also answered questions about how seniors could protect themselves from fraud and abuse and a complimentary light lunch was provided by Chick-Fil-A and AARP.
