I read of the proposed column by Fred Coldren, with reference to “Cape Issues.” In Cape May County, and I suppose in surrounding counties, there is an issue affecting our senior citizens population. As we know, senior citizens are the most vulnerable segment of our society. With 26 percent of our population being seniors, it is important that they be made aware of possible scams, which could adversely affect their living standard or savings. It has come to my attention that there are several companies being invited to speak to senior citizens organizations, including AARP chapter and the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, (N.A.R.F.E.) In the most recent cases, which came to my attention, a company from Gilbertsville, Pa. visited the AARP organization of Sea Isle City, and the N.A.R.F.E. organization of North Cape May. The representative of "Senior Seminar Services, Inc.” made a presentation to those two organizations concerning wills, living trusts, living wills, etc. with the bottom line being that the representative wanted to discuss each individual senior citizen’s “investments.” When speakers from unknown companies are invited to senior citizen organizations, and those speakers attempt to convince the audience to disclose their individual investments that should throw up a “red flag,” that something might not be right. In 2003, I testified against a central New Jersey attorney, before the New Jersey Supreme Court Disciplinary Review Board. That attorney, who was trying to sell living trusts to senior citizens, was found guilty and suspended from the practice of law for one year. In the most recent cases, I sent an urgent letter to a gentleman, names Sy Larson, who is supposedly president of the AARP, New Jersey State Office in Princeton. I sent that letter to President Larson on June 2, 2008. In my letter to President Larson, I recommended that he send a letter to every New Jersey chapter of AARP, cautioning those members to be wary of persons soliciting for living trusts, living wills, and ultimately, investment queries. As of today, June 19, 2008, although I have personally called the state AARP office in Princeton, I have not had a response to my urgent communication, or my attempt to personally speak to Sy Larson. I was told by the person who answered the telephone at the AARP headquarters that Sy Larson was not the president, or maybe he was, but he only comes to the office periodically. I asked that someone from the AARP return my telephone call. I am still waiting. Accordingly, I trust that this “Cape Issue” will be sufficient for every senior citizens organization in Cape May County to become aware and cautious of individuals attempting to sell them something that may not be in their best interests.
