Facilitator: David Finger
Scams and scammers are everywhere these days - in our inbox, on our phones, on social media, in our face. It's not only exhausting, it is frustrating and at times scary. AI and automation are making these threats more convincing than ever. Scamming is an industry, and scammers are constantly improving the techniques they use to fool us.
We all share common beliefs about scams, scammers and being scammed, and these shared beliefs actually make it easier for scams to work on us. It's no longer practical to rely on our ability to detect scams, we need to understand how scams work and adopt practices that protect us by preventing scams from getting started.
