Cyber Scams: Using the Internet Safely
Webinar & Resources
Webinar: Staying safe online is increasingly important as technology continues to advance. Join Secure Florida on Thu., Jul. 16 at 1 p.m. for an online safety webinar discussion about best practices for safely using your email, internet browsing, and some of the most common scams both on and offline.

Resources on Cyber Scams

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic, like other crises, is the perfect opportunity for scammers to take advantage of vulnerable individuals. Many of us are doing things in a different way, using more technology, and the uncertainty involved in navigating these new experiences can make us more susceptible to fraud. 

The delivery of stimulus checks, for example, has provided new opportunities for scammers. The Federal Trade Commission has warned people not to respond to any texts or emails from individuals claiming to have information about checks from the government. The federal government will not contact you asking for your social security number or banking details in order for you to receive a stimulus check.

For more information on reporting fraud, phone scams, and fraudulent websites, emails and texts, click here for a resource guide.
