Local Seniors Learn How to Avoid Fraud
06/18/12Pembroke Pines, Fla. – South Florida has been a hotbed for fraud for years, whether it’s Medicare fraud or Identity theft.
On Monday, June 18, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20) hosted a Senior Fraud Prevention event with representatives from state and local organizations. The safety fair will educate seniors on prevention methods and inform them of proactive measures they can take to protect themselves.
In April, Wasserman Schultz introduced legislation to address the growing problem of tax return identity theft. The Stopping Tax Offenders and Prosecuting Identity Theft Act (H.R. 4362) increases penalties for tax return identity thieves to help deter this type of crime and protect victims. She is also a cosponsor of legislation to remove social security numbers from Medicare cards in an effort to help protect the 872,000 South Floridians who have Medicare.
