This afternoon K9 Watson - Pawtucket Police Therapy Dog joined our Financial Crimes Unit and Elderly Affairs Unit at the Leon Mathieu Senior Center for a Financial Crime & Fraud Prevention Seminar.
We’ve seen an uptick in several types of scams recently, and we want to help educate members of our community on what these scams look like, and more importantly, how to protect themselves from becoming a victim.
K9 Watson also reminded everyone that if something smells fishy, it probably is…
A big thank‑you to the staff and seniors at the center for welcoming us and asking great questions. Staying informed is one of the best ways to protect yourself!
If you think you may have been targeted by a scam, please contact us (401-727-9100) before sending any money, gift cards, (or your long‑lost “grandson” a new iPhone 😉🧐😉).
