Join us for an in-depth and essential discussion focused on understanding and addressing the growing epidemic of romance and other relationship scams. This webinar will feature key insights from experts on the latest trends, data, and collaborative efforts to combat these types of fraud. Consumer education plays a vital role in prevention, but people who’ve experienced a scam are often highly resistant to the idea that they’ve been scammed. In this webinar, we will explore strategies for regulators to effectively communicate with individuals who may be at risk or already ensnared in these scams. The session will also offer practical advice on how to approach friends and family members of those involved in scams, helping them recognize the situation and providing compassionate ways to intervene. This webinar is developed for regulators, consumer protection advocates, and anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of how to prevent and mitigate the impact of these devastating scams.
