It's something we all need to be vigilant about, people who want to scam us.

Senior citizens learned how to be proactive at the scam jam meeting at the Pitt County Senior Center, hosted by the Attorney General's office and WITN's Heather King.

One of the constant scams they say to watch out for is the bad check scam -- prize packages boasting thousands of dollars in winnings.

The second scam jam session will be held in Washington on Wednesday at the Grace Martin Harwell Senior Center.
