In this presentation, participants will learn how to identify common warning signs of fraud, including suspicious emails and text messages, fake computer-security warnings, telephone impersonation scams, requests for gift cards or unusual payments, Mortgage Scams, and attempts to gain remote access to a computer.
The presentation will also cover practical ways to protect yourself, including using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, keeping computers and smartphones updated, avoiding unexpected links and attachments, and independently verifying requests before providing money or personal information. Mortgage and financial fraud will also be covered.
The program will be presented by The Alliance for Senior Services members, Jonathan King from My Personal Geek, Mark Richards from Fairway Home Mortgage, and Nicholas Astore from Certified Financial Services.
