Elected officials to host scam prevention talk
Assemblywoman Diane Dixon and Senator Janet Nguyen will host a Senior Scam Stoppers presentation for Leisure World residents. Everyone is encouraged to come learn how to protect their personal information on Tuesday, Nov. 14, from 10-11:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 4.
Jackie Wylie from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation will share information on how to safeguard personal information. Schemes aren’t just on the “dark web.” Scams can be in-person, on the computer, over the phone or in texts. Wiley is a DFPI targeted outreach specialist and will instruct people on how to recognize those tricks and what to do when they appear.
Dixon is a pragmatic businesswoman and former mayor who represents the 72nd Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods and Lake Forest.
Elected in 2022, Nguyen represents California Senate District 36, which covers Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Newport Beach, Westminster, San Clemente, Capistrano Beach, Fountain Valley, Buena Park, Dana Point, Seal Beach, Laguna Beach, Stanton, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Cerritos, Artesia and Hawaiian Gardens and unincorporated cities of Midway City and Rossmoor. Nguyen has previously served as a city council member, Orange County supervisor, state senator in the 34th District, and state assemblywoman.
