Coronavirus Scams and How To Avoid Them

Join us for this informative virtual lecture presented by Kathleen Titsworth. 

No webcam is required for attendance.

From fake charities to offers of phony cures, the pandemic has given scammers new ways to get us to let our guard down. But just like the Grandparent Scam, the Lottery Scam, and the IRS Scam, these all share a common goal: to access your personal financial information and steal your hard-earned money. Don't let con artists get the best of you. Learn what new scams are out there and learn tips to avoid being a victim. Knowledge is your best defense!
