The Boston Police Bureau of Community Engagement took a proactive step to safeguard seniors in Dorchester against fraud by hosting a Scam Awareness Workshop at SarahCare. The recent session aimed to educate attendees on recognizing scam tactics, identifying warning signs, and adopting strategies to stay safe from deceit.
During the workshop, officers were on hand to discuss various fraudulent schemes that have been circulating, emphasizing the importance for seniors to remain vigilant. The need to constantly stay updated on the latest scam trends cannot be underestimated. The interactive workshop allowed seniors not only to learn but also to actively engage by posing questions and sharing personal encounters with scams.
According to the Boston Police Department's announcement of the workshop, the session proved to be "a valuable afternoon of education and engagement with those we serve."
