Scammers are skilled at creating fear, urgency, and confusion—and anyone can be caught off guard by a convincing phone call, email, text, or online message. They may threaten legal action, promise employment or financial rewards, impersonate trusted organizations, or pressure you to act before you have time to think.
In this practical and timely program from the Iowa City Senior Center, resenter Ann Thompson, Iowa City Police Department Victim Services Coordinator, will share how common scams work, which warning signs to watch for, and what steps to take when something does not feel right.
You will leave with tools to slow down, verify information, protect your personal and financial accounts, and respond confidently without giving scammers the advantage.
