Because Americans lose billions of dollars to fraud, the Taylor County Extension Council charged the Extension Agents with conducting a Fraud Awareness educational activity.
A representative from the FBI Fraud Task Force presented to approximately 90 people the most common types of fraud tactics, red flags, how to protect themselves and how to report fraud.
According to the show of hands, approximately 15% of participants had been scammed. Several commented on how helpful and informative the session was.
