This event is being held as an online meeting/webinar. You will be emailed login instructions approximately 24 hours before the event. 

Online scams are becoming more convincing every day—but with the right knowledge, you can stay one step ahead. This class will help you recognize the warning signs of common scams and give you practical tools to protect yourself.

Learn how scammers trick people through emails, texts, phone calls, and fake websites, and discover easy ways to verify what’s real and what’s not.
We’ll cover what to do if you’ve already clicked a suspicious link or shared information, and explore examples together so you can practice identifying scams in a safe, hands-on setting.

Whether you’re new to using the internet or just want to feel more confident online, this class will give you the skills to spot scams before they catch you.
