Australians lost a whopping $2.74 billion to scams in 2023, with older people impacted more than any other group in Australia.
To help you identify the signs of potential scams, provide advice on what to do if you think you've been scammed and give tips on staying more secure online, COTA Australia will host a Scams Awareness webinar by NAB's Group Security team on Friday, August 30, 2024, at 12pm (AEST).
The session will cover: how to spot the common scams that impact older people, such as investment scams, remote-access scams and romance scams; how to avoid them; scenarios and the actions you should take; and ways to be more secure online.
The webinar will run for one hour, with around 45 minutes of content and 15 minutes for questions and answers. NAB's Group Security team has invested a huge amount of time and resources into this problem area, so it promises to be a very useful and highly informative session.

The webinar will be set up so that you aren't visible on screen and you will be muted until such time as you choose to ask a question. You can also ask a question in writing via the Q&A function by typing in the relevant box on the screen.
We would encourage you to join and take advantage of the experience and expertise of people working at the coal face of this growing and very corrosive problem.
