Preventing Common Frauds and Scams

This one-hour MCPPO training will cover some simple ways that your city or town can protect itself from telemarketing scams and other frauds.

Overview

Unfortunately, more than ever municipalities are a target for fraudsters and scammers. Using real-world examples from a recent OIG investigation, this training will cover “red flags” to watch out for, how following Chapter 30B can actually prevent a scam and other ways your municipality can keep from becoming a victim. This training is useful for municipal accounting and finance professionals, city and town legal counsels and anyone else who is involved in purchasing decisions or contracting.
