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. East Washington Branch -

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.
