About this Event

Scammers are sending you emails, text messages and even calling you, trying to get you to engage. Learn more about the many methods scammers are using today – including using AI to look and sound like people you know! – to separate you from your hard-earned money!

Lyn Peters, Director of Communications, Financial Education & Outreach with the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions will show you some of the techniques scammers are using today to get you to take the bait and give them information and access to your money.
