Scam artist prey upon victims by earning their trust, by taking advantage of their greed, and by using scare tactics. They attack through postal mail, on the internet, by phone and even by diving into dumpsters. Developing a healthy skepticism will help to protect individuals from these criminals.

Through an interactive game, “Red Flag Alert!” we see scams acted out and learn the safest way to respond to these threats.
