Windsor Senior Living Announces Fall Seminar Series

Online, August 31, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Fraud & Scan Seminar Offers Protection for Seniors:
Thursday, September 23, 8 am to Noon

As many as 10 million Americans a year are victims of identity theft. In 2003 and 2004, the Identity Theft Resource Center surveyed victims of identity theft and reported the findings in a paper called The Aftermath Study. These results are a good estimate of the effects of identity theft on its victims and the types of identity theft crimes that are committed. The time alone involved in being a victim of identity theft averages 330 hours per victim. Additionally, about 30% of the victims spend four to six months dealing with their case.*
To help seniors avoid being scammed, Windsor Senior Living is offering the Fraud & Scam Seminar for seniors, caregivers and professionals. This event will help seniors and their families determine how to protect their documents and their identity.

Participants will learn how to prevent identity theft, mail fraud, Medicare fraud, securities scams, and telemarketing scams, with expert speakers from various enforcement agencies, including the Attorney General's office, Federal Trade Commission, Medicare, Social Security Administration, and the Dallas Area Center on Aging. Action Shred of Texas will also be on site to offer free document shredding services to participants.

To register, either call 972-354-4444, or visit the website at www.windsordallas.com and select RSVP. Please invite your family and friends to this informative and important seminar.
