We will show you the red flags to look for when you get suspicious activity on your home or smartphone, computer or other online devices. We analyse and examine how scams work and we’ll show you where to get help if you, family or friends have been scammed.
Come along on Tuesday 7 February at 1.30pm to the Newport Community Centre, at 11-13 The Boulevarde, Newport. There will be free refreshments provided by Northern Beaches Council.
