AARP periodically issues fraud and scam alerts on its website. These scams come mostly through email, phone and web and can sound very convincing.

Bookmark the fraud and scam alerts so that you can easily check the website when you get a suspicious email or phone call or you can sign up to have the alerts send directly to you through your email account. There is also a helpline phone number to call: 877-908-3360.
