Highgate Coffee & Computers Special Cyber Scam session @ The Highgate Society
Oct 4 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

TheHighgate Coffee & Computers’ special Cyber scam session is today!

Numbers are limited so please email to say if you’ll be joining us on Friday 04 October and if you’re bringing a friend

By popular request, we hand over the morning to Leslie Jackson and Tom Lee from the Metropolitan Scam Safe Unit. Scams of all kinds happen every day in Camden, from PIN theft at ATMs to clever phone fraud. In this age of electronics, it can happen to any of us, at any time. 
 
In July alone Camden Borough residents made 148 reports to Action Fraud. Their losses total £537,330 or an average loss of £3,606 per report. 
 
The top three types of fraud are: 
False representation 43 reports £2,040 lost 
Online Shopping & Auctions 18 reports £3,656 lost 
Consumer Fraud 15 reports £31,199 lost 
 
The top three by amount reported lost: 
Payment Fraud £314,933 lost 9 reports 
Click Fraud £65,000 lost 1 report 
Banking Fraud £50,307 lost 9 reports   
 
But if we know what to look out for, we can easily stay clear of the scammers.
Using videos and recounting personal experience, Les and Tom will demonstrate some simple but effective measures we can all take to best prevent fraud happening to us. 
See you later!
