CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OH – The Scam Squad Guide is now available in print to help older Cuyahoga County residents protect their money from scams.

The free, easy-to-read guide reveals how scams work, what scammers are really after and how to use simple strategies to fight back.

“Keeping a booklet right next to your favorite chair will let you refer to it again and again, so you remember the info when you need it most,” said Sheryl Harris, Director of the Cuyahoga County Department of Consumer Affairs.

Each guide comes with an action plan to help residents reach people they trust anytime they feel pressured to act fast.

The Scam Squad Guide is available at libraries throughout the county, including Cleveland Public and Cuyahoga County library branches, and at senior centers. An online version of the booklet and a list of community locations with print versions is available at cuyahogacounty.gov/scamsquad.
