BE VIGILANT & EDUCATE YOUR FAMILY! Every day, scammers and thieves come up with new ways to target older adults - in person, online, via email, text, and over the phone. The Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) Operation Senior Shield (OSS) is a statewide initiative designed to protect older Floridians from the growing threat of scams, fraud, and financial exploitation. Make sure you and your loved ones don't become unwitting victims! To learn more and to sign up for alerts, please visit their website at www.opseniorshieldfl.com.
