Details, from https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/webinars:

UNDERSTANDING THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SCAMS: Back by popular demand, Paul Maskall will host a fireside chat on the psychology of scams and explain why scammers are so effective at their crimes. This fascinating insight into the way cybercriminals identify targets, often using data sold to them by other criminals, execute scams which use emotional blackmail and rational reasoning. Although a scary topic, the much better news is that he will teach you how to question and swiftly deal with approaches from the criminal fraternity. This is an unmissable opportunity to learn more about cybercrime and fraud.

PREVENTING BURGLARY WITH WIDEN: Inspector Matt Coe is going to lead us through a webinar on burglary prevention and the importance of keeping your property safe and working with your neighbours.
