June is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, a good time for older adults and their loved ones to take extra precautions against scams and fraud.

WSIU's Brad Palmer spoke with the Better Business Bureau regional director Sydney Waters about why older adults, especially those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, can be more susceptible to scams.

As a news producer and news anchor on All Things Considered, Brad provides the listeners with a recap of the day's top local and state news as well as breaking news at any given time. Contact WSIU Radio at 618-453-6101 or email wsiunews@wsiu.org
