Scams are big business and booming - around £7 billion are taken from private individuals in the UK every year and far more from businesses and government. Older and vulnerable people are the villains' favourite target. I have been trained as a Scam Champion by National Trading Standards and my talk, which is regularly updated, covers face-to-face, post, telephone and internet scams, and what you should do to protect yourself from the crooks. The talk is illustrated with Powerpoint; I can bring a laptop and a projector.
