Senior Scam Stopper Seminars Events Calendar

Senior Scam Stopper Seminars


Seniors are a vulnerable audience, often preyed upon by unlicensed or unscrupulous contractors.

Since 1986, CSLB has brought government to the people by providing special outreach programs to educate and empower senior consumers against scams that are targeted directly at older populations.

Our Senior Scam Stopper seminars have been offered throughout the state since 1999 in cooperation with legislators, state and local agencies, law enforcement, district attorneys, and community-based organizations.

To date, CSLB has partnered with dozens of state legislators to conduct more than 100 free seminars. Senior Scam Stopper seminars have become an annual event in some regions.

In addition to providing information about construction-related scams and how seniors can protect themselves when hiring a contractor, the seminars feature expert speakers from many local, state and federal agencies, who present broader topics, including identity theft, auto repair, and investments.

We hope you will join us at one of the upcoming seminars.
