Class Description

Scams are getting more sophisticated – and more abundant – every day. But staying informed about new ones is an important way to protect yourself against them. In this 30-minute program, we take a fun look at a serious topic. We will showcase recent examples of scams, help you learn how to identify them, and share best practices for what to do when you receive them. Every week, we’ll highlight different real examples to keep an eye out for!
