Radio COTA #74: Beating the Scammers, Part 2

Published: Sept. 29, 2017, 5:29 a.m.

It’s a “double-header” this week on Radio COTA Podcast # 74, as we continue with Part 2 of our “Beating the Scammers” Special ! We look into how to identify possible scams, how to protect yourself from them, and how you can go about reporting a scam if you’ve been targeted. We’re honoured to be joined by Delia Rickard, the Deputy Chair of the ACCC, who brings to the conversation her expertise and advice, particularly helpful for older Australians who have been long recognised as a specific target for these unscrupulous criminals. Additionally, on this weeks’ show, we acknowledge the International Day of the Older Person 2017 being celebrated this coming Sunday, right around the globe. The 2017 theme explores the effective means of promoting and strengthening the participation of older people in all aspects of social, cultural, economic, civic, and political life worldwide. So, make yourself a cuppa, put your feet up, and enjoy all that Radio COTA brings to you .. Please send us your feedback and suggestions, we'd love to hear from you ...
