Holiday deals, charity drives, delivery notices, scammers love this season as much as we do. On Saturday, October 25 at 11:00 a.m. Tech Savvy for Seniors (TSFS) presents “Frauds & Scams” an engaging workshop at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre that will show exactly how modern scams work and how to shut them down fast.

Led by Dawn and Marie Cobalt, co-founders of TSFS and owners of FutureView Multimedia, this 90 120 minute, highly interactive session uses real emails, texts and phone messages to teach the telltale signs of a con. Attendees will practice spotting red flags on-screen, rehearse what to say (and what NOT to say) on suspicious calls.
