Safeguarding Seniors: Fraud Prevention

The Community Foundation of Elkhart County, in partnership with Charles Schwab and Owls Club, is offering an incredible opportunity to help you protect yourself from scams and fraud. Fraudsters are constantly evolving — and older adults are often prime targets. In this one-hour session, you’ll learn about the latest scams, common fraud methods, and practical steps to safeguard yourself and your information. We’re thrilled to welcome Vernesa “Nes” Harper, Senior Manager on Schwab’s Advisor Services Fraud Prevention Team, as our featured speaker. With over 30 years at Schwab — 25 of those dedicated to fraud investigations, compliance, and risk management — Vernesa brings deep expertise and a passion for educating seniors about evolving tactics and scams to help them avoid victimization. Light refreshments will be provided, and we encourage you to arrive by 2:45 PM, as the talk will begin promptly at 3:00 PM. Don’t miss this chance to learn from an expert, stay informed, and protect your future.
