Scams Are Costing Us: What We Can Do About It
October Member Briefing
Scams cost Americans at least $21.9 billion each year. And new Consumer Reports research finds that everyday activities—like spending more time on social media or shopping online—can put consumers at greater risk. At a time when families are already struggling with rising costs, scams are one more expense we can’t afford.
Join us during Cybersecurity Awareness Month for a conversation about CR’s new research on how consumers encounter and recognize scams—and what we can do about it.
We’ll share practical tools to help you spot and avoid scams, hear from experts about what to do if you or someone you love is targeted, and discuss how we can work together to win stronger protections for consumers.
RSVP today to learn how to protect yourself, your family, and your community.
