Real Scams, Real Solutions

July 25, 2026 Pi General Meeting
10:00 am - 12:30 pm
Via Zoom
Pi members, I've taken the approach that with the ubiquity of scams, we can benefit from some repetition but different emphasis. After last month's meeting with Dr. Edna Reid's focus on seniors and scams, this month is via Zoom and YouTube with Jeff Lanza, a career FBI Special Agent who saw these scams first hand and has a multi page scam handout that while busy with graphics, has useful info - I'll link to where we've reposed this handout below.

So happily, this will be another speaker who will be surprised that we know all about credit freezes, that from an earlier identity theft talk by Carrie Kerskie back in Oct. 2023. https://www.youtube.com/live/bpX-NwMYeuY?si=fUtwf0WpIK2kJ5I7
So here is a list of the topics Jeff will discuss:

• How Al is changing scams
• Text, phone and email tricks

criminals use

• Romance and investment scams
• Passwords, passphrases

and passkeys

• Protecting phones and

online accounts

• Credit freezes and identity

theft prevention

• Three simple rules that

stop most scams

  We'll live stream the Zoom meeting to it, so please share this link with friends and family who you think would benefit from the program.

Join us!
