Member Center:
JOPLIN, MO. - Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster stopped by the Joplin Senior Citizens Center on Tuesday to talk about National Consumer Protection Week.
Koster says seniors are often targeted for scams concerning everything from telemarketing to life insurance.
He says one of the most common schemes involves a company offering to improve your credit score for a fee.
"One of the important jobs of the Attorney General's office is to educate people and let them to know about consumer's scans that are effecting hundreds of thousands of Missourians every year," Koster says.
Koster says consumers with credit problems can get help free of charge or at a low cost through local consumer credit counseling services.
