Description

The Better Business Bureau is partnering with us to discuss the many ways that scammers try to take advantage of each of us. Do you think you can effectively spot a con? Con artists are master chameleons—shifting and changing their playbook to steal your hard-earned money. This game will test your knowledge of common scams and give you the tools to avoid becoming the conman's next victim. Samaritas, one of the state’s largest faith-based nonprofits, has been sending ripples of positive change into Michigan communities since 1934. Prior to April 2016, Samaritas operated as Lutheran Social Services of Michigan. Samaritas serves others in need without regard to religion, race, sexual orientation, or ethnicity and provides resettlement for new Americans, adoption and foster care, and at-home services and residential communities for seniors and persons with disabilities, through assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care. Estate-quality and affordable living residential communities also are available for independent seniors, and property management services for third-party affordable living communities.More than safe harbor in crisis, we come through, when others don’t, with a path home. We connect all people based on their individual circumstances with the families and communities that will empower them to live their fullest life possible. Potential fulfilled, those we serve then promote the dignity of others, launching into the community an unending ripple effect of transformation. For information, visit www.samaritas.org.
