Event Description

As part of the Stop Senior Scams Act, on September 29, 2022, the FTC is bringing together an Advisory Group of federal agency partners, consumer advocates, and industry representatives to focus on ways to better identify and stop scams that affect older adults. The Advisory Group will focus on four main areas: 1) expanding consumer education efforts; 2) improving industry training on scam prevention; 3) identifying innovative or high-tech methods to detect and stop scams; and 4) developing research on consumer or employee engagement to reduce fraud.

If you’re interested in joining one of the Advisory Group committees, please send an email to StopSeniorScams@ftc.gov by October 15.

Please indicate in your email:

  • The committee you are interested in participating in.
  • Background on why you think you would be a good fit for the committee.
  • How you or your organization might be able to contribute.
