A Brookfield Police Detective recently spoke with seniors about scams.  Mike O’Brien was at the Senior Center last week to talk about online, phone, and mail scams. The presentation included information on how to identify a scam, how to protect yourself and your financials, and how those perpetrating these crimes are prosecuted.  Scams to be aware of include phishing emails, overpayment scams and fraudulent job offers.  Brookfield Police say people should check their credit report at least annually.  You should never wire anyone money, never pay in gift cards and never provide personal information to anyone calling you.  If a caller claims to be from your bank, call the number that’s listed on your banking statement.
