The Art of the Online Scam - Thursday, May 1 - NEW DATE
Every year senior citizens fall victim to online scams, resulting in more than $3B in losses. But you don’t have to be one of them! Our mission is simple: to arm you with the knowledge and tools to spot and stop scams before they happen. Join us for a close-up look at the psychology behind scams, and how scammers exploit emotion, urgency and authority to overcome rational decision-making. In this workshop, we will discuss common exploits against seniors and analyze real-world examples.
