United States - Pass It On: New FTC Education Campaign Encourages Older Consumers to Share Their Knowledge to Help Fight Fraud

The FTC has announced a new consumer campaign, 'Pass It On', to raise awareness about fraud by encouraging older consumers to talk with family and friends about the telltale signs of fraud. The program aims to provide a new approach to educating consumers about fraud, offers short and direct reminders on the signs of scams, and suggests tools to start a conversation. Resources such as fact sheets, bookmarks, word games, presentations, and videos, are being circulated to libraries, social and civic clubs, senior centers, adult living communities, and veteran’s facilities. The campaign is called ĄPásalo! in Spanish,  and also has a Spanish-language website.
