Josh Planos spoke to an OLLI continuing education class at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln about the work of the Better Business Bureau, focusing on scams that affect older adults. He did a masterful job tailoring his talk to the needs of his audience. The presentation was organized and interactive. We learned a lot about scam prevention and awareness that we can incorporate into our lives.

Jessie Schmidt was invited to speak at the 2023 state convention. Her remarks were particularly relevant and very helpful to the women in attendance. She shared very clear easy to follow advice on avoiding potential scams and the threat of identity theft. In today's world, people need the tools to avoid becoming victims. If asked, I would highly recommend that she be invited to share her message with other organizations.

We hosted a forum on the topic of ChatGPT and best practices for home and office use. We invited Josh Planos to be one of three panelist and were thrilled that he was able to participate. Josh shared a wonderful personal and professional perspective from the BBB on fraud cases and fraudsters using AI. I  would highly recommend Josh as very polished and articulate speaker.

Josh Planos spoke at Catholic Charities St. Martin de Porres Center on more than one occasions, on a variety of topics about the work of the Better Business Bureau. Josh's focus was on how seniors could recognize and protect themselves from scams. Josh also talked about the risk of identity theft as well. He shared with our seniors the various tools needed to prevent one’s self from becoming a victim. I would highly recommend that he be invited to share his message with other senior centers, or other organizations, that work closely with seniors. Josh's approach to the various topics were clear, so that everyone in the room could comprehend his message. The Better Business Bureau is a valuable organization, and it is my hope that there is a BBB in every city. With scams against seniors and the general public on the rise, I am glad that we have an agency that we can call to address any concerns that we have. I am grateful that I can call Josh Planos when our seniors have questions.
