To recognize Consumer Protection Week and “National Slam the Scam Day” on Thursday, we talked with Craig Gima, spokesperson for AARP Hawaiʻi.
The organization just put out an alert about a social media scam circulating in the islands. AARP has also begun a fraud network where you can report scam attempts to help authorities in their investigations.
To safeguard your accounts, AARP recommends setting up a two-step authentication process to make it more difficult for scammers to access your passwords or other sensitive information online.
