This afternoon I will be joining with Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg and F&M Bank to host a scam prevention seminar in Galesburg.
Financial scams have targeted many of us in recent years. It seems as if everyone knows somebody who has been contacted by a scammer trying to fraudulently take their money or gain access to their personal information. These scams range from the simple – like taking money to trim trees and then never doing the work – to much more complex scams with overseas actors stealing thousands from bank accounts. We all need to be on the lookout and know how to spot these scams before it is too late.
Join us today at 1 p.m. at the Galesburg Library Community Room, 264 W. Main Street, for information on how to recognize scams and what to do about them. This will be an important informational event. It is open to the public and everyone is welcome. I hope you can stop by.
