    Camp Verde Community LibraryCamp Verde AZ (March 2, 2021) – Camp Verde Community Library and Camp Verde Marshal’s Office are partnering to raise awareness about attempted scams and financial fraud.

This will coincide with a social media campaign reminding consumers of the many tricks scammers use to defraud them.

    Join Wendy, Thursday, March 25 at 10:00 am virtually or in-person in the Library’s Founders Room for a presentation on how to recognize scams, phishing attempts, and financial fraud aimed at seniors. Attend in-person or via Zoom.

    Scammers are constantly changing their tactics, looking for new ways to steal money. People can protect themselves by knowing what to watch for.
