Fraud Seminar in case your are interested. This is with the Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario

On June 29th, EAPO will be hosting a webinar, "FIGHT FRAUD" presented by the Ontario Provincial Police - Community Safety Services and Serious Fraud Office. The focus of the FIGHT FRAUD presentation is to promote fraud prevention through community engagement and public education; build awareness of frauds that threaten the safety and security of Ontario seniors; and to educate Ontario seniors to recognize, reject and report fraud. One of the important messages of the presentation is to slow down—to take time to think about a demand for money or personal information before complying. The presentation highlights a campaign from the United Kingdom called Take Five which also promotes this message. In addition to the Take Five strategy, the presentation will cover specific fraud scams that are most common, specifically: romance fraud, emergency fraud, CRA fraud, bank investigator fraud and spoofing.
