Retirees Beware of Scam Artists!
The Alabama Education Retirees Associations, Inc., staff and Board of Directors urge all retirees to beware. No one should contact you regarding any services offered to retired educators unless you initiated the action first. If anyone shows up at your door, please be careful. AERA does not release membership information to any type of salespersons. Should someone contact you and try to pressure you to act that day, please don't do anything until you investigate the matter further. The offer could be a legitimate offer but it could also be a scam.
If you have questions regarding your AERA member benefits, please contact AERA at 1-800-537-6867. Scam artists are good at what they do - stealing from trusting, honest people. Please be very careful. Remember the old saying, "that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is." It is better to be cautious than to lose money to these people.
