Fraudsters
and Scammers know all kinds of tricks to get their hands on your money.
Identity
theft, romance fraud, on-line shoppers targeted, email and letter scams, company
scams such as Telstra and Microsoft, the list goes on and on with Cybercrime
alone currently estimated at costing the global community $400 billion annually.
The
victims of fraud can sustain significant financial and psychological harm as a
result of being defrauded. This can be devastating for business and individuals
therefore, society as a whole suffers greatly. Some victims are often
embarrassed and they do not report fraud as they think that police or their
friends and family will think less of them.
With
this in mind the Gold Coast District NHW Committee is running a Forum later this
month to address this issue.
Our
guest speakers include, Acting Superintendent Des Lacy, Dr Terry Goldsworthy,
Criminologist from Bond University and the Queensland Police Service, Fraud and
Cyber Crime Unit.
This
free forum will provide vital information on the latest fraud and scam crimes
and why the community continues to be caught up in this type of
crime.
REMEMBER
ANYONE CAN BE A VICTIM, so please share this information with your NHW
residents, local community, friends and families and join us
