As financial scams grow more prevalent and sophisticated, eight Twin Cities-area credit unions are joining forces with Woodbury Public Safety to host a free educational seminar to empower community members to recognize and prevent fraud.
The Credit Unions Fighting Fraud seminar will take place from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on August 16 at East Ridge High School in Woodbury. Open to everyone in the community, the event will offer practical tips from public safety and financial experts on safeguarding personal information and recognizing common fraud tactics.
Attendees are encouraged to bring up to five bags or boxes of sensitive personal documents for free shredding and recycling of small electronic devices, ensuring secure disposal of personal data.
Expert speakers will include representatives from the City of Woodbury Public Safety, Minnesota Commerce Department, AARP and Wings Financial Credit Union. Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions and interact directly with fraud prevention specialists.
