(OPEN):
MANY MISSOURIANS ARE ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO IDENTIFY-THEFT, FRAUD, AND SCAMS, DURING THE HOLIDAYS.
THAT'S WHY "A-A-R-P MISSOURI" IS REMINDING THEM ABOUT FREE RESOURCES THAT CAN HELP KEEP THEM SAFE.
CRAIG EICHELMAN IS THE ORGANIZATION'S STATE-DIRECTOR...
(EICHELMAN):
"THE 'FRAUD-WATCH
NETWORK' OFFERS REAL-TIME ALERTS ABOUT THE LATEST SCAMS; TIPS ON HOW TO SPOT THEM; AND THE INSIDE SCOOP ON HOW CON-ARTISTS
THINK--SO YOU CAN OUTSMART THEM, BEFORE THEY STRIKE. IT ALSO INCLUDES A NATIONWIDE, SCAM-TRACKING MAP THAT GIVES YOU ACCESS TO A NETWORK OF PEOPLE
WHO'VE SPOTTED SCAMS--PLUS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PASS ALONG YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES.
AND, IT ALLOWS YOU TO GET CONNECTED TO A REAL, LIVE PERSON WHO'S TRAINED IN HOW TO AVOID
FRAUD--AND WHO CAN ADVISE YOU, IF YOU OR A LOVED-ONE HAS JUST BEEN SCAMMED.
WHAT'S MORE, ANYONE, OF ANY AGE, CAN ACCESS OUR RESOURCES, AT NO COST."
