Identity Theft in the “Smart” Era

It may be surprising that people still fall for e-mails attempting to steal their money or identity by promising winnings to lotteries they’ve never played, international wire transfers from wealthy royalty, or an unexpected CRA tax refund.

In this webinar we will review some of the most common identity theft scams, how to safely manage your online presence, things to consider when setting up new devices on your “smart” home network, as well as reviewing the steps to take once you suspect being a victim of identity theft. Special thanks to Interac Corp. for sponsoring this webinar.
