ORANGE COUNTY...In Congress, I'm proud to represent the incredible seniors of Southern California. My job is to provide resources and serve in the best interests of our community members, like our seniors.

That's why last week, I joined the United States Postal Inspection Service and Fountain Valley law enforcement officials in hosting an info session about scams that target seniors. Internet scams have exploded in recent years and many of them explicitly target seniors.

Such financial crimes are devious and unacceptable. The session provided information about what scams look like, what they are after, and how an individual can catch them before losing money or private information.
