Identity Theft in the 鈥淪mart鈥� Era
It may be surprising that people still fall for e-mails attempting to steal their money or identity by promising winnings to lotteries they鈥檝e never played, international wire transfers from wealthy royalty, or an unexpected CRA tax refund. After all, similar scams have been around for over two decades; yet new variants seem to constantly pop up. In this webinar we will review some of the most common identity theft scams, how to safely manage your online presence, things to consider when setting up new devices on your 鈥渟mart鈥� home network, as well as reviewing the steps to take once you suspect being a victim of identity theft.听Special thanks to Interac Corp. for sponsoring this webinar.
