F7 Power Against Fraud, Scams & Cons
March 19, 2019 - 3:00-5:00 pm
Description: My-oh-my, there are so many creative ways criminals are stealing our money, from realistic-looking websites and warnings, to convincing threats and awards. Wow, every day the devious plot list is growing - thieves using our devices to scam us. It’s unsettling, embarrassing and unfortunately, the criminals can quickly drain our bank accounts. You hear the stories and think, that will never be me…but sadly, it just takes one vulnerable moment for us to fall victim. The crime prevention specialists at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office are experts on crime trends and can share those with you, along with valuable advice on how to spot a scammer or fraudster and what to do if you become a victim. This is so important, because cybercrime is growing, with criminals getting their hands on billions of dollars across the U.S.
Purpose: Learn different ways you can fall victim to cybercrime and how to prevent or minimize threats
Facilitator: Heather Turco (Guest Presenter - Crime Prevention, Lee County Sheriff’s Office)
