North Swindon MP, Justin Tomlinson, is joining with Barclays Bank to educate people about digital safety and scam awareness.
Justin is hosting an event in his community office, in conjunction with Barclays, to help people understand the types of fraud and scam that might target them.
The event is being held at Justin’s community office at the Orbital Shopping Park on Thursday November 2nd from 6pm – 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and learn how to improve their digital security and scam awareness.
Justin Tomlinson MP said: “Increasingly our lives are being organised online. Utility bills, emails and most importantly; banking. As more and more of us do everything online, cyber-crime is becoming more common and sophisticated. That’s why I am delighted that Barclays are running this digital safety event at my community office, alongside Trading Standards. I would encourage everybody to come along, especially those who want to learn more about keeping safe online; whether for themselves or their relatives and friends”
Rowena Mawle, Branch Manager at the Barclays West Swindon, branch said: “At Barclays, helping customers and local residents get online is something we’re really keen to support through our Digital Eagles, however, we’re also keen to make sure they do this safely and provide tips on safe banking and how to avoid becoming a victim of other fraud and scams. Working with Trading Standards and we will be on hand to discuss any concerns at the drop in session and we look forward to welcoming anyone who is interested in learning more about staying safe online and prevent other fraudulent scams.”
