Scamming in the Time of Pandemic:
Special Guest Speaker Matthew Schwartz
Have you received a phone call promising quick access to the Covid vaccine? All you have to do is “confirm” your social security number. Or maybe you can just pay a hundred dollars to receive your “special vaccination appointment.” The scammers are out in force!
Matthew Schwartz, former investigative reporter for KVOA News 4 Tucson will be with us to talk about his new book, “Confessions of an Investigative Reporter.” (www.amazon.com/Confessions-Investigative-Reporter-Matthew-Schwartz/dp/1646630718). The book is described as “…funny, fast-moving, and dishy.”
Matthew has exposed all sorts of corruption, fraud, and waste. For our meeting, he’ll focus on Covid scams, which are all over the place right now. He’ll show a fascinating video clip from his work, talk about the book, and take our questions.
Join a lively discussion!
