Saturday was World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and state leaders are reminding Vermonters to be on the lookout for abuse and a new scam targeting parishioners.
Experts say a scammer targeting parishioners poses as a pastor raising funds to help needy children or the sick and requests gift card donations.
They say do not engage, and report scams to the Consumer Assistance Program.
