Bank of America scam prevention seminar coming

About this event

Financial fraud and scams have become more sophisticated, making it harder to navigate these financial threats. To help people of all ages protect themselves against fraud and scams, Bank of America has begun hosting what it calls “Scaminars.” The initial workshops have been received so well by BofA clients that the bank decided to expand the program by hosting 2,500 of the scam and fraud prevention seminars throughout the year to anyone interested.

The “scaminars” will be held monthly at various local BofA financial centers or at community centers and other community-based locations for free, including one in Stockton at 407 N. Wilson Way on November 19. Attendees must RSVP!

Attendees will learn basics such as:

-Recognizing common red flags that signal a scam, including online and email

-New and trending scams that may not be widely known

-Ways to prevent becoming a victim of fraud

-Knowing your bank’s security policies and what to do if you become a victim
