Fraud Prevention 101 for Entrepreneurs

Scammers target small businesses with fake invoices, phishing, payroll and vendor payment redirects, and AI-powered impersonation. In this webinar, you'll see how modern scams actually run using real case patterns, the red flags you can spot fast, and a practical checklist to harden email, payments, and staff habits before money leaves your account, without buying a pile of new tools.

📚 What you’ll learn in this session:

• What today’s scam operations look like end-to-end (from first contact to cash-out)
• The most common small business hits: invoice fraud, vendor change requests, payroll diversion, and BEC (Business Email Compromise)
• How AI is being used for impersonation, urgency, and “professional” looking bait
• A quick triage checklist for suspicious emails, calls, and payment change requests
• Low-cost controls that stop most fraud: verification steps, MFA, and email account hardening

You’ll walk away with the confidence and practical tools to recognize threats early, respond quickly, and keep your business safe.
