Iowa Insurance Commissioner Doug Ommen says they'll talk about how to spot scams, involving stocks and other investments, charities, and romance. Also common these days is Medicare fraud.
"Sometimes we'll see home test kits, braces, and certainly other support kind of merchandise that gets "sold" to the older Iowan then the effort is made to charge that back under the Medicare system."
Seniors are the most common target of scammers, but he also wants to educate younger people who are involved with seniors.
"Whether it's maybe someone in your family you would identify as an older Iowan of if you're a caretaker. Or we've heard numerous circumstances where people that work at local department stories can intercept frauds because a lot of the scammers will use gift cards as a method by which to secure payment."
Ommen says scammers also try to take advantage of what's in the news, and these days that includes fake alternative energy investments.
The Fraud Fighters educational forum will be held Tuesday at the Rhythm City Casino in Davenport. Since all 120 slots for attending have been filled, he suggests going to the website, iowafraudfighters.gov.
