Are you in Jeopardy? “Come join us for a fun and engaging way to learn how to minimize the risk of becoming a victim of a fraud or scam. We all are potential victims and we all should be prepared if we find ourselves in a position where we need to report fraud or scams.” The goals of the Fraud Prevention Workshop are: To educate seniors, families, local businesses, and caregivers on preventing frauds, scams, and identity theft, and to help build safer communities for Florida’s 4.9 million seniors.
Cutler Bay folks, the next Town of Cutler Bay Council Meeting will take place on February 15 in the Town of Cutler Bay Council Chambers, 10720 Caribbean Blvd., Cutler Bay.
