Scams Awareness & Aftercare with Age UK
Join us on 6th May, 1pm for a live session designed to help you spot, avoid, and recover from scams — whether they target you or the older loved ones in your care.
What to expect:
-
The latest scam techniques fraudsters are using today
-
How to spot and avoid the most common frauds

Real-life examples and case studies
-
Practical tips to stay safe online, on the phone, and at your doorstep

After the main session, join a smaller breakout room where you can connect with other Carents. These informal group chats are a safe space to share experiences and learn from others in similar situations.
About the Speakers:

Together, Emma and Laura lead a programme that offers:
-
Group scams awareness sessions

One-to-one support for older people and their families
