Two seminars will be held in Whanganui on Tuesday, to help people learn how to protect themselves from scams.
Titled Scam Savvy, the seminars follow on from similar seminars held in Whanganui two years ago. They are hosted by Age Concern, and will be run by staff from the BNZ.
People will learn about card skimming, phone scams, credit card scams, internet scams, and more.
A spokesperson for Age Concern said financial abuse is the most prevalent form of abuse against elderly people, and it's getting worse.
"Many individuals and companies particularly target the elderly to exploit them of their money."
