Whether it’s over the phone, through the mail, online or even at your doorstep, con-artists are coming up with new and devious ways to scam you and your loved ones. Millions are lost each day to cons like foreign lottery fraud, bogus investment schemes, and online scams designed to steal your identity and your savings. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg – new scams are popping up around each and every corner.

But you can learn how to fight back to protect yourself, your family and your friends. Join us for a free SCAM JAM event on Thursday, May 1 from 8:00am – 11:00am at the Hilton Garden Inn in Issaquah (1800 NW Gilman Blvd., Issaquah, WA 98027).

Find out about today’s leading scams that are tearing through the nation and bilking consumers out of millions. Plus hear some tips learned straight from the con-artists themselves about who they target and why.

The event is free, but pre-registration is required. Register online or call toll-free 1-877-926-8300.
