Financial scams through social media and messaging: How to be safe?

Times Verified was launched to tackle the epidemic of fake news and misinformation which hampered individuals and the society at large. We began the initiative by highlighting the misinformation around the relief and medical efforts towards fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.

A series of informative webinars are being organized to help readers understand the menace of fake news, while also informing them about tips/tricks to stay alert.

The second webinar of the series investigates the menace of Financial Scams where we talk to key stakeholders from the private sector as well as the government on how the public can stay safe when they go online, and how people can have access to information which is authentic.

The experts will also talk about the various financial frauds and scams that are happening through the online channels, and how the public should be mindful of the malicious activities.
