Lunch & Learn: Protecting Yourself from Scams

On June 9, eighteen members attended a Lunch & Learn featuring Officer Christina Nocito, who shared critical tips on recognizing and avoiding sophisticated scams. Drawing on her banking and law enforcement background, she explained how scammers use urgency and fear to demand untraceable payments like gift cards or cryptocurrency.

Attendees enjoyed an Olive Garden lunch while learning to slow down, verify requests, and report fraud immediately to banks and police. A video of the presentation will be available on the Center’s website soon.
