Scammers love to use the way our minds work against us, and the social media world gives them constant opportunities to find new targets for seemingly endless fraud.
This program will explore the brain and give you tools that you can use to identify deceptive tactics in today's information landscape. Protect yourself and those around you by learning about how the mechanisms of social media take advantage of the way humans think.
See our book list Outsmarting Scammers.
Programs in the Outsmarting Scammers series are made possible by AARP-Indiana through grants to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.

The 22,000 square foot Fort Ben Branch provides easy access to Library services and collections due to its location in a high-traffic community with access to public transportation. It includes community meeting spaces and study rooms, beautiful landscaping components, and walk-up, bike-up, and drive-up material return locations. Its roof-top solar photovoltaic system will provides 80% of the building's electricity needs. The Library was envisioned as part of a redevelopment plan since the land was decommissioned and transitioned from the U.S. military to the City of Indianapolis in the 1990s.
The Branch is the first library branch in the state of Indiana to become a Certified Autism Center™ by receiving an international autism accreditation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
