Why cover it? Informative and emotional human-interest stories. Con artists are targeting Americans age 60 and older, swindling more than 5 million Americans out of a $3 billion each year. This is the sixth forum in the state. At past forums, we've had very vocal seniors willing to share their stories with the press. Some have brought documentation of scams and the AG has opened up cases at forums. From RSVPs, we anticipate 150 in attendance.
