There will be special emphasis on COVID-related scams, as well as the latest twists on common telephone scams such as the "grandparent scam," the “Internal Revenue Service scam” and the "foreign lottery scam." The program will also cover issues such as identity theft, romance scams and Internet safety. Participants will be provided with "do's" and "don'ts" to stay safe in their daily lives.
