Hi Reddit! I’m Kathy Stokes, Fraud Expert at AARP.​

I’ve spent years studying fraud trends and helping people learn to recognize common red flags so they can better protect themselves and the people they care about. My work at AARP includes helping lead the Fraud Watch Network, which provides free resources, guidance, and support to help people stay informed and recognize warning signs when something feels off or suspicious.​

On September 9 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET, I’ll be here in r/scams to answer your questions about fraud prevention, including:​

  • The most common scams reported to the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline​
  • AI-related scams and impersonation​
  • Warning signs that a call, text, email, or online offer may be fraudulent​
  • What to do if you think you or someone you know has been targeted​
  • How to talk to a loved one who has been targeted by a romance scam​
  • The best ways to help protect your personal and financial information​

​Please leave your questions below in advance, and I’ll answer as many as I can during the AMA.​

I’m looking forward to the conversation.​

These 2 wild girls flew over to us

I'm sure they were begging. After a couple of minutes they went back to hunting for snails. Please don't feed ducks that aren't yours.

The Most Impossible Rise of a City Ever: Sacramento, California

It's about a 40 minute video. It contains a lot of good information about Sacramento and how it was founded from the Native Americans who lived here through the Gold Rush and into the 1800s.

I didn't know there was an underground Sacramento.

Why was the order placed so far away?

I just made an order for Raley's. There's a store less than 3 mi from my house. My order was placed with a store that's at least 10 mi from my house. I'm pretty sure they know where the stores are and where I live.

There is no way to contact Uber to ask about this.

What does a rich life look like to you?

I have lived a rich life. I haven't ever had a large bank account. What I have had is the love of my family, a love of nature and the ability to enjoy it as well as the privilege of exploring our beautiful country extensively. That's my idea of what a rich life is.

What to do in the evening without food or alcohol?

My friends and I like to eat out occasionally. We want to find things that are open so we can visit longer.

We don't drink and we just ate so...

Small dessert big flavor

I love dessert but it all tastes the same after the first few bites. So I like my desserts to be small but to have big flavor.

This is one I came up with based on a dessert on the South Beach diet.

0.25 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

1/8 teaspoon espresso powder

1 teaspoon cocoa powder

1/16 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon Monk fruit/ allolose sweetener

Mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

You won't believe your mouth at just 107 calories total.

So yesterday at Taco 65

Are there any other taquerias I should be checking out. Their menu is not huge but the food is fantastic.
