Greensboro residents can get a practical briefing on recognizing and responding to scams during a free program Wednesday, Aug. 19, at Benjamin Branch Library.
The Avoiding Scams and Fraud program is scheduled for 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the branch, 1530 Benjamin Parkway. The Greensboro Library calendar lists the program as free and says the NC Department of Justice outreach division will lead the presentation.
The session is designed to cover how online, phone and other scams are changing, what to do if someone thinks they have been scammed, and steps to protect personal information. That makes it useful both for residents who want a refresher and for people helping family members manage suspicious calls, messages or requests for payment.
Readers should confirm the event details with the library before traveling because public schedules can change. The official event listing is the best source for any accessibility or program updates.
