Scams & Fraud Education

Please mark your calendars for our Scams & Fraud Education class on Monday, September 15th, at 2:00 p.m. in the Crete Carrier Community Room. Ryan Sothan, Outreach Coordinator for the Nebraska Attorney General's Office will be giving this presentation.

Fraud and financial scams continue to threaten Nebraskans, often causing not just monetary loss but also emotional and even physical harm—especially among older residents.

Unfortunately, studies show that the true extent of fraud is far greater than what is reported, making awareness and prevention more critical than ever.

The 2025 SAFE Update empowers Nebraskans with the latest tools and strategies to recognize, prevent, and respond to scams. This session will highlight common fraud tactics, key warning signs, and practical steps to safeguard yourself and those around you.

The best defense? Trust your instincts. If something seems too good to be true—it probably is.
