Every year, military servicemembers, veterans, and their families report significant financial losses due to fraud and scams. In 2023 alone, these losses amounted to over $470 million. To address this issue, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Institute for Marketplace Trust are hosting a webinar to discuss how scammers target military consumers.

The event aims to educate participants on protecting personal and financial information as well as military benefits. Attendees will also learn how to share this knowledge with others.

The webinar is scheduled for January 27, 2025, at 1:00 pm ET. Interested individuals can join via the provided URL or by phone using various US-based numbers.
