NASHUA – AARP New Hampshire will be hosting a presentation on fraud prevention next month at the Nashua Public Library, 2 Court St.

The presentation will be held on Oct. 8 from 1-2 p.m. and will cover the following areas:

-Fraud trends - Understanding how much fraud is out there and what it looks like​

-Changing the narrative – How we talk about fraud matters – words matter

Following the presentation, residents will hear from the Nashua Police Department about current scams in the Greater Nashua area as well as how to detect and report scams.

Scammers are getting more savvy in their techniques and the best way to spot a scam is to stop a scam.
