KTV4 Hawaii
The Department of the Attorney General has partnered with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Office of the Securities Commissioner and Department of Health, Executive Office on Aging, Senior Medicare Patrol Program to provide Hawaii’s seniors, their caregivers, and others with information on how to keep safe from becoming a victim of fraud and scams.
In 2018, close to $1.5 billion was lost nationally, with $6 million stolen in Hawaii, according to the Attorney General's office.
The “Hawaii’s Fraud Prevention and Resource Guide,” is in its third edition with new and current information to keep Hawaii’s residents safe. Residents can borrow the Guide from any of their state libraries (check for days and times of operation) or go online to download a personal copy

Hard copies of the Guides will also be available at the DCCA Office Building at 335 Merchant on the 1st and 2nd floor brochure racks while supplies last.
