UPT SIFE TEAM TO PRESENTSPECIAL PROGRAM FOR SENIORS:SENIORS AGAINST FRAUD VIA EDUCATION (SAFE)TITUSVILLE, Jan. 16 -- University of Pittsburgh at Titusville Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) will present “SAFE: Seniors Against Fraud via Education” on Friday, January 29, at 1:00 p.m. in the Billie Brown Building, and at 2:00 p.m. in Central Towers. The UPT SIFE Team conceived and developed their SAFE program to increase senior citizen awareness of various fraudulent practices, and to give them the knowledge to fight back and report fraud. Topics on the Power Point presentation will include identity theft, mail fraud, telephone fraud, internet fraud and check fraud. A handout will be distributed, and seniors will be asked to take a pre- and post-quiz to measure their knowledge of the topic before and after the presentation. The program will be videotaped for use at the SIFE Regional Competition in April. All Central Towers and Billie Brown Building tenants are invited and encouraged to attend this free-of-charge presentation. The presentation will take approximately one-half hour. The UPT SIFE Team’s mission is to help individuals from 8 to 80 through free enterprise projects. We teach money management, fraud prevention, investment strategies, credit card awareness, and a variety of other topics as needs are identified. Our goal is to learn about, teach others, and practice free enterprise in our community.
