Consumers reported losing more than $8.8 billion to fraud in 2022, a 30% increase over the prior year according to the Federal Trade Commission.
Along with identity theft, types of financial fraud include imposter and romance scams, investment fraud, business and job-opportunity scams, and credit and debit card fraud.
Cove Federal Credit Union has partnered with the Kenton County Public Library/Erlanger Branch to present a program on how to protect yourself against consumer fraud.
On Tuesday, September 12 from Noon-1:30 p.m. in the library’s Bronte Room, Nicole Lutz of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service will present the most prevalent types of fraud and how to protect yourself from them. A McAlister’s Deli box lunch will be provided and seating is limited.
Registration is available at kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com
