Scam Smart: Protecting Yourself from Fraud, Financial & AI-Driven Scams

Featuring Kristina Perkins, Chief Investigator, Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office
With today’s flood of emails, texts, phone calls, and official-looking mail, it has never been harder to tell what’s real and what’s a scam. Criminals are now using artificial intelligence, public records, and highly personalized data to create convincing messages that target homeowners, retirees, and anyone with assets.
This eye-opening seminar will show you how modern scams really work — from fake “bank” alerts and wire-transfer requests to AI-generated voices, emails, and even video messages that impersonate loved ones, attorneys, or financial institutions.
You’ll learn how scammers use property records, online profiles, and transaction data to identify and approach their victims — and how to spot the red flags before money or personal information is lost.
This is one of the most important safety seminars you’ll attend this year — designed to give you clarity, confidence, and real-world protection in an increasingly digital world.
Tuesday April 14th @ 10:30am
