The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is organizing a webinar focused on scams targeting older adults. The event will take place as part of National Consumer Protection Week and aims to inform participants about common fraud schemes, particularly imposter scams, which have been increasingly affecting seniors.
Representatives from the FTC, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Social Security Administration (SSA), and AARP will participate in a one-hour discussion. The session is designed to help older adults recognize and avoid scams, as well as provide guidance on how they can assist others in doing the same.
The webinar is scheduled for March 5, 2026, at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.
