Event Details

Financial crimes and identity theft are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated, affecting people of all ages—not just the elderly. This educational presentation helps attendees understand how financial crimes occur, how personal information is compromised, and what steps can be taken to reduce risk and respond quickly if fraud occurs.
Topics covered include:
• Common types of financial crimes and scams (phishing, impersonation, account takeovers, and payment fraud)
• How identity theft happens and warning signs to watch for
• Steps individuals can take to protect personal and financial information
• Best practices for passwords, devices, and online activity
• What to do immediately if you suspect fraud or identity theft

Rob Madden will be accompanied by a member of the Suffolk County Police Dept's Financial Crimes unit to assist in this presentation.

This program is designed for adults of all ages and families who want to better understand today’s fraud risks and take practical steps to protect themselves and their financial identity.
