Careers, Jobs, Small Business Seminars, Small Business How-to Seminars: Scam Avoidance and Cyber Safety: Navigating the New Age of Cyber Scamming

**This event will be online only**

As scams take on new forms and employ novel methods and tactics, more than ever, you must be an educated, savvy consumer – particularly during the massive holiday shopping season.

Are you thinking about scam avoidance, cyber safety, and ID theft prevention this year while making purchases, researching options, and buying gifts? An array of consumer scams have dramatically increased, many bolstered by Artificial Intelligence technology. ID theft also remains one of the most common crimes to strike consumers, taking on tricky, tech-savvy forms that may be more difficult to detect and correct.

Join us to learn how to look for the key red flags, what to avoid before falling prey to consumer scams, and the key steps to minimize the damage if you are victimized.

This important program is offered free as a service of your local Better Business Bureau.
