Cybercrime and fraud prevention talk by Hertfordshire Police 11th July:
Fraudsters and cyber criminals aren’t fussy. They’ll pick on anyone. Nobody is immune. The criminals behind it target people online and in their homes, often emotionally manipulating their victims before they steal money or personal data.
There is something we can do. By staying vigilant and always taking a moment to stop, think and check whenever we’re approached by text, email, phone, or online, we can help to protect ourselves and each other from fraud and our accounts from being hacked. St Mary’s will be hosting a talk by Herts Police Cybercrime & Fraud personnel on Thursday 11th July between 11am-12.30pm. All are welcome and the event is free. Tea, coffee and cake will be available from 10.30am. For more information. please phone Caroline J (not our Caroline!) on 01920 821442.
