Thousands of Texans are scammed out of their hard earned money every year. Most of us believe that we can spot a scam a mile away; but even the most cautious of us can get taken. That’s why anyone interested in learning about how to protect themselves from scammers should attend this year’s Scam Jam.
The North Texas Crime Prevention Association will present Scam Jam 2008 on Saturday, October 4, 2008 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Conference Center at Collin County Community College, 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway in Plano.
The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Dallas will team with local, state and federal agencies to tell consumers how to protect themselves from all types of fraud. The free program will cover internet fraud, health care fraud, elder fraud, identity theft and counterfeit fraud.
About Reed Allmand
Allmand's vision is rooted in his own financially precarious childhood in Abilene "My father always had difficulty holding a job and supporting our family, so after my parents divorced when I was 12, my sister and I got jobs to help make ends meet," he recalls. "I remember what it felt like as a child to worry that our car would be repossessed or home foreclosed on."
