Scams, Fraud and Identity Theft Series – Imposter Scams: Key Tactics and How to Stay Safe

Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from imposter scams at this educational session hosted by the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Experts from the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office and Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office will walk you through the tactics scammers use and practical steps you can take to stay safe. This is part of a broader series on fraud and identity theft, but you can attend this session on its own to focus specifically on imposter scams. Expect an hour of expert instruction that combines real-world examples with interactive learning—designed to help you recognize warning signs and respond confidently if you encounter a scam. The session is geared toward adults and takes place on the second floor of the Main Library in a comfortable reading room setting. If you're interested in diving deeper, the library also offers related sessions throughout the fall covering topics like spotting red flags, local scams, and identity theft basics. Registration is available through the library's website.
