| Join Our Webinar: Avoid Being A Target & Protect Yourself From Fraud! |
| |
| Dear Moneylifers, |
| |
| Greetings! This month, we are focusing on a critical issue affecting all of us in the digital age – cyber crime, frauds and online scams. As online transactions have become increasingly commonplace, the threat of these malicious activities has also been on the rise. |
| |
 From phishing attacks mimicking trusted institutions to the emergence of sophisticated scams like deep fakes and sextortion, cyber criminals familiar online retailers. Fraudsters have also made use of fake celebrity or influencer endorsements to promote shady investment schemes, luring people with the temptation of making impossibly high returns. |
| |
| The challenge lies in recognising and identifying these evolving tactics and avoiding being a victim to such threats. Are you confident that you can recognise the latest threats and protect yourself? |
| |
 While fraudsters evolve and adopt technological advances to their advantage, as consumers we need to counter this threat with an equal effort made in educating ourselves about the various deceptive tactics that are employed in common frauds. With this in mind, we have organised a FREE webinar on Thursday 4 April with Yogesh Sapkale, Deputy Editor of Moneylife. In order to help reach a wider audience, it will be conducted in a mix of English and Hindi languages. |
| |
- Understand the psychology behind scams and tricks that scammers use to exploit trust and to create a sense urgency.
- recognise the tell-take signs of a scam, from phishing emails to fake investment opportunities, sextortion, matrimonial scams, KYC frauds etc.
- Develop practical strategies to safeguard your personal information and finances.
