Program Description

Event Description

Learn the signs of an internet or phone scam! There are many fraudsters willing to take as much as they can, and though there are protections in place like spam filters, some will get through. This class covers not only some common scams aimed at adults, but also how to spot new fraudulent activity as it develops. Unfortunately, there are new trends popping up all the time, so we will go over fraud patterns, how to follow up when you're suspicious of an email or phone call, and what to do if you believe you've given information or money to a scam. Feel free to bring water or note-taking equipment! Registration required, space is limited.
