WEBINAR DETAILS
In an environment marked by fear and anxiety due to the COVID-19 pandemic, accountholders, small businesses, and even at-home staff are increasingly becoming fraud targets. This no-nonsense program will provide vital insights into frauds and scams during the coronavirus pandemic. Schemes include technology scams, impersonation of government officials, door-to-door “charity” drives, or anything criminals think is plausible. Check fraud was big before the stimulus checks. Now it will explode with fake checks, money mules, and elder fraud.
The longer the nation remains sheltered-in-place, the bigger the problems will become. Your staff must understand how to handle this new environment – even before your doors reopen. In fact, this program will explain how to provide lobby security in a new way. Participants will learn how to handle scams and be provided with a list of websites where they can stay abreast of the information gained in this dynamic program.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session will benefit operations managers, risk management professionals, internal auditors, training staff, and security officers.
