Jon Steiger, Retired Regional Director at Federal Trade Commission, will discuss the current environment of frauds and scams and how we can better protect ourselves.

“There is a scam for everyone,” Jon Miller Steiger, retired director of the East Central Region of the FTC, said. “Any one of us, on the wrong day, can easily click on the wrong link or pick up the phone when we shouldn’t have and end up turning money over or turning information over to scammers.”

Your telephone rings from a local phone number. When you answer, there’s a recording saying the sheriff is coming for you because you owe back taxes. Should you press 1 to talk to the sheriff?

You get an email from your bank claiming you need to confirm your security information by clicking on a link. Should you click on the link just to make sure?

Jon will cover these issues and more on how people can protect themselves, their families and their businesses from fraud and scams.

Location: Orange Library Branch, 31975 Chagrin Blvd, Pepper Pike, OH 44124
