An Answers for Older Kansans Seminar Series "Scam Scan" hosted by North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging and Kansas Legal Services has begun. The seminars are free and open to the public.

Seminars began January 24 with great attendance. Seminars are continuing through March and possibly April.

"Getting scammed can happen to anyone," said Corinne Petrik, managing attorney at Kansas Legal Services. "I'm willing to bet that anyone reading this publication has had an email, phone call, or text message today that has attempted to scam them."

Petrick presented at the Sunflower Fair and is a presenter for the "Scam Scan" Seminar Series.

"This presentation is designed to help you recognize common scams in order to avoid falling prey to them. You will learn prevention tips to help keep you, your money, and your information safe," Petrik said.
