Description

Lunch & Learn: The Riskiest Scams and Emerging Fraud Trends


Scammers are constantly changing the way they target consumers—and the latest data shows that digital channels, social media, text messages and fraudulent employment opportunities are creating new risks.

Join us this Wednesday September 8th 2026 for a Lunch & Learn with Bryan Oglesby as we take a closer look at the findings from the 2025 BBB Scam Tracker Risk Report and what they mean for consumers and businesses.


We’ll explore:

• The two riskiest scams: Why investment/cryptocurrency scams and employment scams continue to rank at the top.

• Employment scams: Why younger adults are particularly vulnerable and how fake job opportunities are being used to steal money and personal information.

• The rise of text and social media scams: How scammers are using the platforms we use every day to reach potential victims.

• Brand impersonation: Why seeing a familiar company name or logo doesn't necessarily mean the message is legitimate.

• Repeat victimization: Why some consumers fall victim to scams multiple times—and how scammers may target previous victims with “recovery” scams.

• How to spot the red flags: Practical BBB tips consumers and businesses can use to slow down, verify information and avoid becoming the next victim.


Scammers are adapting faster than ever. The best defense is knowing what to look for before you click, respond, send money or share personal information.


Join us Wednesday and learn what today’s scams look like—and how to stay one step ahead of the scammers.


Presented by Bryan Oglesby, Director of Public Relations & Outreach, BBB Serving West Florida
