That is, indeed, a great organization. Sometimes, it just gives us some peers to talk our problems over with because, quite frankly, some mistakes we make are just not correctable. If you sent a lot of money to Nigeria, it is probably gone, no matter who you contact!
Seniors Vs Crime is a special project of the Florida Attorney Generals Office so they operate statewide. They have two offices here in TV - as mentioned previously one in the Sumter County Sheriffs Office at CR 466 and Morse Bouylevard and another in the Marion County Sheriffs Office at Buena Vista Boulevard and CR 42 on the northern edge of TV (near Mulberry Grove Rec Center). They also have an office in Ocala with the Ocala Police Department at Paddock Mall.
In addition to helping out our citizens, Seniors Vs Crime will come out an speak to your group about various topics including their organization, tips on how to protect yourself when dealing with contractors and scams, Medicare fraud, Investment scams, Identity Theft, you name it. I have seen them at the VHA Newcomers Socials and other events in TV. One really nice thing, they are all volunteers and there is never a charge for their services.
Give them a call at 753-7775 or email them at
marionsvc@yahoo.com to schedule a talk.
