Why Scam Prevention is Important

Scams can have devastating effects on individuals and families. They can lead to financial loss, emotional distress, and a sense of violation. Understanding how scams work is the first step in protecting yourself.

Here are some alarming statistics to consider:

• According to the Federal Trade Commission, consumers reported losing over $3.3 billion to fraud in 2020 alone.

• The average loss per scam victim was around $400, but many lost much more.

• Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it harder to identify their tactics.

  
  

By attending our workshop, you will gain valuable insights into the world of scams and learn how to safeguard your personal information.

What You Will Learn

Our workshop will cover a variety of topics related to scam prevention. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:

1. Understanding Different Types of Scams

Scams come in many forms. We will discuss the most common types, including:

• Phishing Scams: These often come in the form of emails or messages that appear to be from legitimate sources, asking for personal information.

• Tech Support Scams: Scammers pose as tech support agents, claiming there is a problem with your device and asking for remote access or payment.

  
  

• Investment Scams: These scams promise high returns on investments that are too good to be true.

  
  

By understanding these types, you will be better equipped to recognize them.

2. Recognizing Red Flags

Knowing the warning signs of a scam can save you from becoming a victim. We will teach you how to identify red flags, such as:

• Unsolicited communication from unknown sources.

• Requests for personal or financial information.

3. Practical Tips for Protection

We will provide you with actionable tips to protect yourself, including:

• Use Strong Passwords: Create complex passwords and change them regularly.

4. Real-Life Scenarios

Learning from real-life examples can be incredibly effective. We will share stories of individuals who fell victim to scams and discuss what went wrong. This will help you understand how easily scams can happen and how to avoid similar situations.
