According to AARP, “the FraudWatch Network was created to empower consumers to spot and avoid scams, and to provide support and guidance to victims and their families when fraud happens. One of AARP's founder's primary goals was to protect the financial security of older Americans, so fighting identity theft and fraud is a big part of AARP's mission today.”

· Spot Fraud Trends – Understanding how much fraud is out there and what it looks like
