“Stop the Scam” webinar

You’re invited to a special ARA webinar to stop the scam and protect older adults from social media and AI-driven fraud

The following is from WSARA:

(January 23, 2026) — Consumers – including millions of seniors – are losing billions of dollars each year because of fraud. Fueled by social media and rapidly evolving artificial intelligence tools, these scams are targeting older Americans at a disproportionate rate, yet education, consumer protections, and accountability have not kept pace.

That’s why the WA State Alliance for Retired Americans would like to invite you to join us on Thursday, January 29 at 1:00 PM PT for a webinar introducing the Alliance’s Stop the Scam Campaign, a year-long public education initiative to raise awareness, share real experiences, and mobilize action to protect older adults from social media and AI-driven scams.

This webinar is open to all. Together, we can raise awareness, protect our loved ones, and help stop the scams before more harm is done.

During this webinar, participants will:

• Learn how social media and AI technologies are being used to target and deceive older adults
• Hear how organizations, advocates, and community leaders can participate, share stories, and help amplify prevention efforts
• Understand how education and collective action can support stronger protections and safer online environments
