There will be an educational program this Thursday at the Hood River Valley Adult Center on preventing fraud, scams, and elder abuse.  “Six Signs It’s A Scam” will start with a resource fair from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a presentation by Oregon Office of the Attorney General Director of Consumer Outreach & Education Director Ellen Klem from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.  Klem says there’s a variety of ways scammers try to take our identities and money, but the basics of all of them are the same.  It’s a free event open to all.  You can RSVP by calling 541-705-4870 or emailing rhyde@gobhi.org.
