A Logan Libraries information session will help arm the community with tips and techniques to protect themselves against frauds and scams.
Logan City Council’s Community Safety Program will host an awareness session from 10am to 11am on Thursday, March 16 at Logan Central Library.
The guest speakers will be Bank of Queensland Logan Central Branch Manager Kelly Reed and Queensland Office of Fair Trading Community Engagement Officer Bob Walker.
Participants can learn what scams are currently doing the rounds and where to get assistance if they suspect they have been a victim of a scam or fraud.
City Lifestyle Chair, Councillor Laurie Koranski said most people had received scam emails, texts or telephone calls at one time or another.
“It is an unfortunate part of the digital age we are living in so it is vital that we have an awareness of this important topic,” Cr Koranski said.
“We want to arm the community with the tools they need to protect themselves from these scams.
“Recent cyber safety episodes have highlighted the need for people to be vigilant with their online interactions.”
