I have attended many 'safety' seminars, and 'scam' avoidance tutorials. most were given by sheriffs, police departments, and even the Attorney General's office. THIS one was by far, the most informative. Even after ALL the others, I learned 2 New things from R.O.S E. Safegaurds Data information. I want to share it with everyone I know.

The Resource/Outreach to Safeguard the Elderly (R.O.S.E.) Fraud Prevention training that was held on 2.25.2025 at American Lutheran Church in Sun City, AZ was well presented and full of helpful information. The attendees reported to me that they really enjoyed the presentation and so did I.

Good presentation today. Even though I'm pretty up to speed, I found it a good use of my time. It's good folks like you are making an effort to protect folks from the bad guys.

With each answer or suggestion, we didn’t get the sense that we were naïve or ignorant for NOT knowing…but really, this is just how it is, and to be aware that the methodology of scams is changing rapidly so stay tuned.

Liz & May

One of the best presentations I’ve attended. Presenter spoke at a great pace, very good information. The examples used applied to, me. I was reminded of old scams and learned new scams that I was not aware of like the check washing and to change passwords on a regular basis.

- Liz & May

Joe C.

Scottsdale Rotary Club recently hosted Joyce to discuss this important issue. Joyce is clearly a subject matter expert in this field and is passionate about it. The work she is doing leading R.O.S.E is making a difference and we are happy to support her. Thanks, Joyce - the world needs more people like you!

- Joe C.

I could see how we’d need annual refreshers in our community!
