AARP Fraud Expert Doug Shadel will explain how artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency kioks are being used to defraud kupuna in Hawaiʻi at free workshops across the state Feb. 23 through Feb. 26.
Shadel will share how AI and other scams work, why smart people get hooked and how to shut down scammers during free seminars on Oahu, Maui and East and West Hawaiʻi. Heʻll also explain how cryptocurrency kioks, which look like bank atms, are being used to transfer money to scammers.
To register for the workshops and reserve a free breakfast or lunch, go to the AARP Hawaiʻi Facebook page and click on upcoming events or to aarp.org/events/find and put in your zipcode to search for in-person AARP events near you. You can also call 877-926-8300 for more information and to register.
“Kupuna have worked all their lives to save money for their golden years. Scammers are smart and take advantage of the latest technology such as artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency kiosks to come up with new ways to steal money,” said Kealiʻi Lopez, AARP Hawaiʻi state director. “Doug Shadel has decades of experience as a fraud investigator and with AARP and the AARP Fraud Watch Network. He will help us fight back against scammers by teaching us how to recognize and stop fraud.”

Feb. 23 at 9:30 a.m. in Honolulu at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaiʻi
Feb. 24 at 11 a.m. in Paia, Maui at the Kaunoa Senior Center
