Fraud Fighters Forum

I attended a Fraud Fighters Forum in Minnesota a few months ago, and I am pleased to announce that the event will be broadcast on television.

Fraud Fighters Program to Air on Minnesota Channel

Tune in for an informational program about how to prevent, spot and report fraud, brought to you by AARP and the Better Business Bureau.  Produced by Twin Cities Public Television, the hour-long program provides useful information from law enforcement agencies and experts and answers consumers’ questions in a panel discussion moderated by Minnesota Public Radio’s Chris Farrell.

The broadcast will occur on the statewide MN Channel.  It is seen statewide via all six Minnesota public television stations, over the air free for viewers, as well as on cable services.
