Fraud Awareness Workshop and Bingo in the Ironbound on Saturday: Learn to Spot Scams, With Breakfast and Gift Card Prizes
The Ironbound Community Corporation hosts a fraud awareness workshop and bingo on Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to noon at 432 Lafayette Street in Newark — attendees will learn how to recognize scams and protect their personal information and finances. Registration is required.
Ironbound residents can spend Saturday morning learning how to keep scammers away from their money — with bingo, breakfast and gift card prizes alongside the lesson. A fraud awareness workshop and bingo planned with the Ironbound Community Corporation is set for Saturday, November 7, in Newark, according to the Jersey Bee's Essex County listings, read in full by this desk.
The session runs from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 432 Lafayette Street. Attendees will learn how to recognize scams, avoid fraud, and protect their personal information and finances, the listings say. Gift card prizes are available, breakfast is provided, and registration is required.
The workshop lands in a county where officials have been warning families about fraud this fall — the Essex County Prosecutor's Office and Sheriff's Office recently warned about a fake-bail scam targeting families of people in custody, a warning this station covered on November 1. A Saturday session that teaches residents to spot the approach before money changes hands is the prevention side of the same story.
