How to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones from Scams in Rochester, MN
Have you ever answered a phone call or email that didn’t feel quite right? Maybe it was someone claiming to be from your bank. Or a caller saying your grandchild was in trouble. These scams are becoming increasingly common, and seniors in Minnesota are often the primary targets.
At Benedictine Living Community- Rochester Madonna Meadows, we know how unsettling this can feel. That’s why we’re hosting a special Fraud Prevention & Scam Awareness event:
Tuesday, September 23, 2025 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. 3035 Salem Meadows Dr, Rochester, MN Seats are free, but limited.

Why This Event Matters More Than Ever
Fraud isn’t just a headline—it’s a daily reality. According to the Federal Trade Commission, Americans lost $10 billion to scams in 2023—the highest amount ever reported. Seniors are often targeted because scammers think they’ll be polite, trusting, or less familiar with new technology.
But here’s the good news: knowledge is power. When you recognize the red flags, you can shut down scammers before they have a chance.
At this one-hour session, you’ll learn:
● The latest scams hitting Rochester and Minnesota seniors right now
● Easy ways to recognize a scam before it goes too far
● Who to call and where to report suspicious activity
● How to protect not just yourself—but also your spouse, parents, or neighbors
This isn’t just information; it’s prevention that can save you thousands of dollars and endless worry.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Scammers don’t wait. Every day, they’re finding new tricks, new stories, and new ways to make their pitch sound real. Waiting to “deal with it later” could mean missing the chance to stop a scam in its tracks.
That’s why this event is more than an invitation; it’s a safeguard. By attending, you’ll walk away with confidence and peace of mind that you can’t get from an article online. RSVP by September 21 to secure your seat: Click here to register or call (507) 206-2177
