This event is for money guiders who may need to signpost or support people they work with, who have been or could be targeted by a scam relating to the cost of living crisis.
What you'll learn
- The latest cost of living scams being used
- The signs to look out for to spot a scam
- How to report a scam
- And what to do if your service user becomes the victim of a scam
Why attend this event?
There is so much information out there about the different ways available to support people affected by the cost of living crisis; the problem is distinguishing the fake information from the genuine information.
Unfortunately, there are people who have chosen to take advantage of the cost of living crisis by using tactics that people may think are genuine, to obtain sensitive personal information or, often, money.
This session will help you to understand the latest scams being used so you can help to educate and inform the people you work with.
Who is leading the workshop?
This session is being run by Saxon Partridge-Smith of the West Midlands Police Cyber Unit.
