Special Presentation
(hybrid meeting – on-site and remote)
10:30 – 11:30 am
In May, Judy Taylour will present on Cybercriminals are out to get us-Senior Scams. ID theft, phishing, vishing, spoofing, fraud, all of these, and more, are targeting seniors. From the FBI: “Approximately 28% of the total fraud losses in 2020 were sustained by victims over the age of 60, resulting in approximately $1 billion in losses to seniors. This represents an increase of approximately $300 million in losses reported in 2020 versus what was reported by victims over 60 in 2019.”
During this presentation, we will look at many of the scams that face seniors and what we can do to prevent that from happening.
This SIG will meet both in-person at NUMC, and remotely using MS Teams. If remote, use this link — https://bit.ly/3SCoksu.
