According to a recent AP news article, different forms of fraud are happening at a record high in the United States.
It’s quite possible you personally have recently received a scam phone call or email requesting your private information.
Advanced technology has allowed illicit actors to enhance the sophistication of their scams, making them harder for both individuals and the authorities to detect.
The Our America Foundation is partnering with the High Point Capital group to host a free scam and fraud prevention workshop.
The workshop will focus on educating private citizens on ways to identity and protect themselves from AI Voice cloning, phone scams, phishing, and other digital/telecommunications techniques commonly used by nefarious actors.
The workshop will also discuss the next steps you should take if you believe you or someone you know has been a victim.
Full details for the event are below.
Date: Friday, December 4th
Time: 1-3 pm CT
Venue: MATC Mequon Campus
Address: 5555 W. Highland Road, Mequon, WI
Please feel free to bring your family, friends, and neighbors. Fraud can affect anyone, and by educating more people we can prevent fraud and begin to fight back.
This event is open to the public and no RSVP is required.
