Scams, whether by phone, mail or online, are everywhere.
The Federal Trade Commission reported in February that it received fraud reports from 2.8 million consumers in 2021.
Consumers, the FTC report states, reported fraud losses of more than $5.8 billion last year, an increase of 70% from 2020.
Dodging potential scams and fraud requires vigilance and on Monday, Raegan Sharp, public affairs liaison with the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office, spoke at the Rotary Club to give an informative presentation about scams and identity theft.
Sharp went over several scams in her presentation and spoke about how to recognize and guard against them.
