SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- Scammers who want to take advantage of South Dakota veterans need to go through Atttorney General Marty Jackley and the AARP first.
AARP held a workshop at the VFW on South Minnesota Ave on various scams aimed at veterans and elders and how not to become a victim.
According to Jill Tyler, South Dakota AARP chapter president, scammers try to get their victims "into the ether"--a highly emotional state. She says then it is easier for the con artists to push aside a person's normal logic and good sense.
Jackley says veterans and their families are often targets because of the various financial programs they receive.
