Macomb County Prosecutor Conducts Free SCAMS Presentations to Protect Seniors
Mount Clemens, MI - Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido wants seniors to beware of recent scams. Prosecutor Lucido gives presentations to seniors to protect them from scams and give them the information they need to avoid becoming a victim.
“Protecting our citizens from scams is not just about enforcing the law—it's about empowering people with the knowledge they need to defend themselves. I am committed to ensuring every member of our community, especially the most vulnerable, can recognize and avoid fraudulent schemes,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office provides an informational booklet called “S.C.A.M.S. Stopping Crimes Against Macomb Seniors,” to promote the safety and take initiative on helping senior citizens of Macomb County. In it you will find information on scams that target seniors including identity theft, telemarketing fraud, internet fraud, home improvement fraud and caregiver fraud. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office’s goal is to protect and prevent vulnerable seniors from being taken advantage of by criminals. Prosecutor Lucido wants to help our aging community members by providing essential information and clarity to those who need it. Many scams are sent by email or phone calls. Do not give any personal information over the phone or via email to anyone you do not know.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office conducts Senior SCAMS presentations throughout Macomb County. These free presentations include the booklets and discussion on the various scams regarding Macomb County seniors.
