What to know about scams and fraud targeting young adults

Although younger, digital savvy consumers may be adept at using the internet, TIME reported that Generation Z is more than three times as likely as Baby Boomers to fall for online scams. Community educators often focus on informing older adults about how to avoid scams, yet getting that information to young adults is equally important. During this webinar, our panel of experts—Melissa Lanning Trumpower, of the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust; Emma Fletcher and Kira Krown, of the Federal Trade Commission; and Amazon’s Abigail Bishop—will explain how scammers reach young adults and steal their money, share what the FTC’s complaint database and research can teach us about scams that impact young adults, discuss Amazon’s efforts to protect young adults, and offer advice and practical tips for helping young adults avoid consumer fraud.
