About this event
Cautious Consumerism: Protecting Yourself from Identity Theft & Fraud
Unfortunately, frauds and scams cost Canadians billions of dollars every year. With advancing technology, criminal fraud is moving past your basic phishing emails and can hit us very close to home. Even savvy consumers can have their identity stolen or be scammed. To protect ourselves, our clients, and our family, we must first understand what criminals are doing. Knowing this, we can implement safety measures to prevent ourselves and our clients from being victimized.
Join us for an interactive webinar where you’ll be able to:
- Define the difference between identity theft and identity fraud;
- Protect yourself against identify theft and fraud;
- List out the steps to take if you’ve been victimized;
- Know where, when and how to report fraud; and
- Identify the most recent and common scams in Canada.
This interactive session will last 60 minutes in a webinar format. All participants will walk away with ideas, resources and the full curriculum upon request.
