With increasing concerns over Internet fraud and identity theft issues, would you like to learn more about how you can improve your safety? If so, plan to attend a free program on Internet fraud, Internet safety and security, identity theft, and financial institution security on Thursday, February 23 from 9:30-11:00 am at the United Way Office. The program is presented by Wayne Staley of Affinity Systems and author of the book, They Will Do Anything— Identity Theft and Internet Fraud. The program will cover information on some of the recent scams in our area including how to identify “phishing” scams on the Internet. You’ll learn some basic concepts helpful in preventing identity theft and financial fraud. As older adults are increasingly targeted as potential victims of financial scams, this program provides many helpful safeguards. This program is free and open to the public, but registration is requested by calling 715-298-5721 or by emailing Tony Omernik.
