Have you ever got a text message that said you owed money for a road toll? Or that someone had a new investment or job opportunity for you? Do you get emails with invoices for things you know you didn’t order?

These are all common things criminals do to trick people via their phones and computers, with the goal of stealing their money. But there are ways to fight back!

In this presentation we will learn:

  • Common scams targeting seniors and their families
  • How online criminals are using AI to trick you
  • What to watch out for in text messages, emails, and social media
  • Best practices for securing your accounts and private information

Come with any questions you might have about technology and the internet, and we will do our best to answer them!
