SFB to Present Seminar on How to Avoid Scams, Fraud, and Identity Theft
It seems like every day a new scam develops, many times taking advantage of senior citizens and other unsuspecting individuals. To help protect against scams, fraud, and identity theft, Security Financial Bank (SFB) is offering a free seminar to the public.
Area residents are encouraged to attend this one-hour seminar to learn about the most common scams currently circulating in the community, what to watch for and the precautionary steps they can take to protect themselves and their loved ones. Refreshments will be provided. Pre-registration is appreciated but not required.

Owen, who is SFB’s enterprise risk manager, works to address all internal and external security and loss prevention resources to reduce or eliminate losses.
