[ARCHIVED] Protect Yourself from Scams: Free Workshop for Older Adults

Shield Against Scams

Scammers are constantly finding new ways to target older adults, using phone calls, emails, fake websites, and even in-person scams to steal personal information and money. Unfortunately, these schemes are becoming more sophisticated, making it crucial to stay informed and prepared.

To help older adults recognize and avoid fraud, we invite you to attend Shield Against Scams, a free workshop designed to educate and empower you with the knowledge to protect yourself. This informative session will cover common scams affecting older adults, key warning signs to watch for, and practical steps to avoid becoming a victim.

We are excited to welcome Cory Reindel, CFE / Senior Fraud Investigator from Premier Bank, as our featured speaker. With years of experience in fraud prevention and financial security, Cory will share real-life examples, the latest fraud trends, and essential tips on how to safeguard your personal and financial information.

In addition to the presentation, there will be a Q&A session, allowing attendees to ask questions and get personalized advice on fraud prevention. Whether you've been a victim of a scam in the past or simply want to strengthen your defenses, this workshop is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable insights and take control of your financial security.
