Coming up on this episode of AARP the Perfect Scamp.

It's beyond my my wildest dreams how anybody could just take advantage of people, sweet people, but they're out there.

Welcome back to of people, sweet people, but they're out there.

Welcome back to AARP, The Perfect Scam, and our two-part episode about Valerie in Florida.

If you haven't listened to part one of Valerie's story, do that now.

I'm Will Johnson and I'm here with the AARP Fraud Watch Network Ambassador Frank Abagnale, Frank.

Great to be here.

Good to have you here.

You know, after 42 years with the FBI, it's at 42 now, right?

I feel like you've more than made up for any harm you might have caused.

I appreciate that.

I would assume you feel the same way.

It's still a burden because unfortunately there are people who never let you forget what

you did.

You have to deal with a lot of comments, you have to deal with a lot of emails that people write and blaming you

for something you did 50 years ago.

But I think as long as in your own mind you know what you've done with your life and what

you're trying to do with your life, you just keep down that

road. There's always going to be, you know, haters love to hate, so there's always going to be people

who resent you for what you did, even though it was 50 years ago when I was a teenager.

So it's still somewhat of a burden that you live with and have to carry, but you understand that

you know you did that and that's something you just have to live with the rest of your life.
