Thank you for having us!

Rowan Kelly and David Ryan recently provided training and education on "The Scourge of Scams and Cons" at WACOSS, with people attending in person and online. Scams are more prevalent and sophisticated than ever before, and it is important to provide practical tips on what people can do to avoid scams, how we can help them if they are scammed, and insight on where we think changes need to be made.
