A workshop on avoiding financial exploitation is scheduled for older residents and their family members and caregivers, according to a news release from the state’s chief financial officer.
The program is called Operation S.A.F.E. (Stop Adult Financial Exploitation), Be Scam Smart, and is part of Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater’s On Guard for Seniors initiative, according to the release.
The workshop will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday at River House at 179 Marine St. in St. Augustine.
