The ever-looming specter of financial fraud is now a stark reality for many, with nearly $8.8 billion reported lost to scammers in 2022, as per the Federal Trade Commission. With a surge expected in these nefarious activities, con artists are relentlessly dialing numbers and firing off emails, looking for their next target.
In light of this troubling trend, financial advisor Scott Stentz is gearing up to fully equip folks with the know-how to effectively shut out scammers. He's slated to drop some serious knowledge on how not to quickly fall victim to slick schemes and, if the worst happens, the steps to take post-theft. The run-down is happening at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30, at the Vivian J. Lincoln Library, according to the City of Fort Worth.
This advisory session is being helmed by Stentz, a seasoned pro with Edward Jones, a firm with a rep for steering individual investors toward realizing their financial aspirations. As your or my phone lights up with another suspicious number or our inbox pings with yet another too-good-to-be-true offer, this kind of guidance seems not just prudent, but essential.
