GUEST SPEAKER TULARE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY NICHOLE BURN-HAM, “SENIOR SCAMS & CONS”

Our guest Speaker today was DA Nichole Burnham and her topic was Senior Scams & Cons and to tell us about some of the exam-ples of Senior Citizens being Scammed & Conned and what to look out for when making donations to Charities via telephone and Identity Theft. Nichole’s presentation was very enlightening and covered several other areas where Seniors should remain diligent in. I would highly recommend her as a Guest Speaker.
