Class helps seniors avoid fraud
Two West Hawaii presentations will help kupuna avoid becoming victims of fraud, prescription drug misuse and crime.
Multiple state agencies will bring information on Medicare fraud prevention, securities fraud prevention and prescription drug misuse. The Hawaii Police Department will provide information and tips on securing your residence to prevent burglaries and thefts.
The class will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday in the West Hawaii Civic Center County Council room and from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Hawaiian Homes Hall in Waimea.
Immediately following each one-hour presentation, the Department of Public Safety’s Narcotics Enforcement Division will conduct a half-hour prescription drug take-back operation. Participants are encouraged to bring their unused or expired mediation for safe, anonymous disposal.
