Village Hosting "How to Know When You Are Being Scammed" Presentation on March 20

Scammers are like viruses: They continually evolve in response to the latest news and trends, using them for new ways to separate us from our cash. Americans aged 18-24 fell victim to fake check and money order scams, whereas Americans 65 and older were most commonly victims of tech support scams.

To help educate and protect anyone who is interested, the Village will be hosting “How to Know When You Are Being Scammed” on March 20 at 6 pm at Green Hills Foundation Hall. The Presentation will be by Shawn Suter owner of Your Hometown Techs. This event is free and open to the entire community.
