Cyber security:
avoiding scams

Friday 4th October 2019 10.30 am to 12.30 am 
10A South Grove N6 6BS 

Numbers are limited so please email highgatecoffeeandcomputers@gmail.com to say if you’ll be joining us and if you’re bringing a friend.  

By popular request, the Coffee & Computers team hand over the October session 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.
