Fraud Alert: Protecting Yourself and Your Business from Scams and Identity Theft
Presented by Jared Lee, Huntington Bank
In today’s increasingly digital world, fraud is more sophisticated and widespread than ever. This workshop uncovers the many faces of fraud—from identity theft and financial scams to deceptive tactics such as phishing, vishing, and smishing. Participants will learn how fraudsters use emotional manipulation and urgency in schemes like sweetheart scams, fake family emergencies, and business impersonation. Real-world examples will equip attendees to recognize red flags and respond confidently.
The session will also cover the risks associated with various payment methods, including checks, ACH transfers, debit cards, and credit cards. Each method carries unique vulnerabilities and understanding them can help individuals and businesses make safer financial decisions. Additional focus will be given to elder financial abuse, including misuse of joint accounts and powers of attorney, with guidance on how to protect vulnerable loved ones.
