The Atmore Police Department is inquiring if any community groups, civic organizations or churches would be interested in a senior citizen financial fraud PowerPoint presentation.

Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a release that financial fraud occurs every 15 seconds.

“Scammers are sophisticated and use minimal details they can find about you on line, from your mail or someone you know, to make up stories and scenarios that seem real or possible to get you to fall for their scam,” McMann said. “Their scams are designed to catch people off guard. The Atmore Police Department is introducing a Senior Citizen Financial Fraud PowerPoint presentation. The presentation isn’t solely focused on senior citizens. Anyone can become a victim.”

McMann said the PowerPoint presentation provides helpful information, prevention tools to protect potential victims and share best practices to help victims who fall victim to a scam.

The Atmore Police Department is inquiring if any community groups, civic organizations or churches would be interested in the presentation or in the Online Safety Presentation, he said.

If interested, contact McMann at 251-368-9141 ext. 1174 or by email at darrell.mcmann@atmorepolice.us.
